In what appears to be a genuine NYPD memo, police are seemingly bracing for violent “Black Bloc” tactics in New York City on May Day.
According to Buzzfeed, NYPD representative Paul Browne has confirmed that the memo is genuine, and said the police have even distributed it to private sector security directors in preparation.
For those unfamiliar with the term, “Black Bloc” protesters often dress in all black and mask their faces so it’s harder for the police to identify them. They have tended to embrace violence, smash windows, and target both major corporations and law enforcement internationally, and in the United States as recently as this month.
Read the entire document, via Buzzfeed, below:
In coordination with a plethora of other protests where activists are encouraged to “disrupt” as much as possible, the police write of a “Wildcat March” due to begin at 1:00.
“Organizers of this action have advocated the use of so-called ‘Black-Bloc’ tactics to confront the police, sometimes violently, like those experienced during the G-20 summit in Pittsburgh in 2009, in which barricades, rocks, and trash bins were used in clashes with law enforcement,” they explain.
They make it clear that while “Occupy” protesters may not be directly involved, the fact that the movement has embraced “a diversity of tactics” allows such violence to occur.
Black Bloc Protestors
The memo explains:
Political fissures that are present within the OWS movement may impact the strategies of demonstrators during individual protest actions; in particular, the Wildcat March is not an officially sanctioned OWS march and may attract militant elements from inside and outside the OWS movement that may seek to directly confront law enforcement officials using barricades, riot shields, and possibly weapons such as pipes and rocks.
[...]
In their planning, the OWS NYCGA has endorsed solidarity based on a ‘respect for a diversity of tactics,’ which suggests that autonomous actions of demonstrators using Black Bloc tactics may occur at any time. [Emphasis added]
“Although OWS organizers have publicized a large number of the marches, demonstrations, and activities that will take place throughout the day, it should be expected that ‘pop-up’ demonstrations, splinter demonstrations, and flash mobs may occur at any time, especially during ‘evening actions‘ that are planned for 7:00pm and later,” they warn in conclusion. [Emphasis added]

Posted on May 1, 2012 at 12:29pmThe only reason these Blac Bloc morons want to raise taxes on the so called rich is so they can sit around and do nothing while smoking weed, playing a guitar and “zoning out”. They honestly believe that they have a right to live off of the money of other hard working people.
I‘m so tired of hearing there aren’t any jobs out there. They are everywhere. Some people simply don’t want to work.

Posted on May 1, 2012 at 12:49pmthere a movement that wants change, these people can easily be persuaded to follow the route of freedom and live the message of Ron Paul , and OWS is not all communist, very few of them are, many of its are just normal folks who want change, also many libertarians trying to influence to movement. there just another group of common man upset over the unfair and unreasonable system we have and also there showing the goverment that you cannot take away the peoples right to protest and hr 347 will not be enforced. lets also be thankful that they have not been taken over by the Neo Cons like the tea party was. There people just like us and want similar things we do, we want our constitution back and our freedom whether they realize it or not.

Posted on May 1, 2012 at 7:01pmIf they protest peacefully why do they need to hide their face? Are they ashamed of something? You and I both know it is because they fear identification after they trash something. Be honest with yourself and others. The Tea Party had peaceful protests against unjust taxation and not one of the real protestors was arrested over months of protest. The OWS and black bloc fools just are not satisfied with peaceful protest, they want to make someone pay

Posted on May 1, 2012 at 11:07amWhat amazes me is that Democrats/Progressives like Harry Reid, Pelosi, etc. calls the Tea Party extremist/racist/violent protestors. The OWS protestors are very dangerous. The Tea Party gatherings looked like a 4th of July Patriots party and yet them say they are violent. I really believe the Progressives have a mental disorder and are pathological liars.

Posted on May 1, 2012 at 12:21pmPlease don‘t abuse the term ’engineer’! Otherwise, I like your post and I get your meaning! We need to reserve certain words to their legacy meaning and not grab them for abuse when there are so many more descriptive terms that could be used, like Machiavelian Schemer! Engineer has a positive connotation–they are inventors, creators. She is a malcontent that won’t use the most powerful and fair form of government ever devised to achieve a positive result, but rather has to tear down the very insitituions that provide the forum from which she can vent her venom!

Posted on May 1, 2012 at 10:59amSomeone is going to die violently this week. Most of these children believe in what they are doing. They are untrained useful idiots.
In the process of teaching me, a senior NCO told that it is a soldier’s lot to live unharmed, be wounded or die. The important thing is to not get wounded or killed because of the “stupids”.
These kids think they are immortal before the week’s over they will find out they are not. Their lot is the same. Live unharmed. Be wounded. Die. Some will die of the “stupids”.
This is all so sad. You can see it happening in front of you. Some mother‘s son or daughter won’t be coming home ever again.

Posted on May 1, 2012 at 11:29amYou will never ever destroy all the communists in this or any country. They will always be lurking in the background. The trick is to keep them there and ineffective, which we have not been good at since our current prez was elected, as he is one of them. Keeping them suppressed is all about education. Marx said it starts with taking over the education system and they have done that, completely. The education system needs to be taken over by patriots and turned around. That’s will keep the country on an even keel, that and making sure that every available patriot gets out to vote at every opportunity. You could kill a bunch of these marauding idiots and nothing will change; our real power is in our votes not in guns.
