Occupy Wall Street movement

I am glad to see the occupation of Zuccotti Park in lower Manhattan finished its first month and that the Occupy Wall Street movement has spread to cities and college campuses across the United States and to more than 70 other countries.

However, I am concerned about the police brutality in the United States.

Here we are complaining about the brutality of tyrants in the Middle East when our own government is condoning such violent acts as seen in Oakland, California, insuring one of the demonstrated lift-threatening. It seems like when it comes to demonstrations in other countries, politicians are cheering. However, as soon as it happens on their own doorsteps, it becomes too inconvenient and threatening to their own survival  and they are moving to use tactics they condemn on other countries.

People of this world should have the right to voice their concerns and dismay without interferences of their government.
