Global Noise in Belgum report of arrests and Police Violence
So far there has been no mainstream media coverage though a report has been sent to Occupy Groupspaces
Over one hundred (final number above but unconfirmed) just arrested at the #11o #13o bloc the friends of Europe president dinner #globalnoise protest in Belgium. Two producers from Global Revolution TV were on scene and are currently unreachable. We received tweets that indicated police were violent and used batons. We streamed much of the peaceful, loud pot banging protest this evening before the arrests took place. Please blast the info out over mailing list and twitter to show solidarity and support for the arrested.

One of the more important functions police need to do in a society is to be both peacekeeper and protector. How police respond to public protest is something in which we all should be concerned. For more on this and other important police improvement issues, see “Arrested Development: A Veteran Police Chief Sounds Off About Protest, Racism, Corruption and the Seven Steps Necessary to Improve Our Nation’s Police” (Amazon.com). And my blog at http://improvingpolice.wordpress.com/ where other current police improvement issues are discussed. The goal in a free society is to have great police. Great police are police who are well-trained and led, restrained in their use of force, honest, and courteous to every person.
