MUST SEE RAW VIDEO - Peaceful Female Protesters Penned And Maced By Police At Wall Street Occupation
---
This is pretty shocking video from yesterday, day 8 of 'Occupy Wall Street.' You will see the arm of a police officer dressed in a white shirt enter the frame and spray pepper mace. The officer then simply walks away while the women scream.
Text below from Youtube:
While on a peaceful march near Union Square in downtown Manhattan, multiple female protestors were penned up in the street by orange mesh baricade, then maliciously maced.
The women were peaceful and unarmed. They were secured by barricade with an overwhelming police presence. And they were then sprayed directly in the face with pressurized mace.

Signing of Memorandum of Understanding for Police Training with NYPD
http://www.state.gov/r/pa/prs/ps/2010/01/135653.htm
[snip]
On January 21, 2010, Assistant Secretary of State for the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs David T. Johnson and New York City Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Department of State and the New York City Police Department establishing a relationship to assist with international police training. INL has training responsibilities in countries around the world and the New York City Police Department has become a part of that endeavor with this signing. In partnership with the NYPD, INL will continue to provide the best training it can offer to police forces around the world.
The MOU also provides a framework for the NYPD to provide the Haitian national police, among other police forces, with training and technical assistance. The dedication in their assistance to the earthquake-ravaged country has been heroic, as evidenced in the videos of the rescue of the 8-year old boy from the rubble by the New York City Search and Rescue team.
