Stunning Revelation by NYC Police Commissioner: Protesters Had a ‘Countdown’ & ‘Charged’ Cops

New York City Police Commissioner Ray Kelly made some stunning revelations on Thursday regarding videos that surfaced on YouTube Wednesday night showing police beating back Wall St. protesters. According to him, the protesters actually planned to antagonize police, even instituting a “countdown” before they “charged” officers.

“What they did is they counted. They actually had a countdown — 10, 9, 8, 7, 6 — they grouped together, they joined arms and they charged the police. They attacked the police. They wanted to get into Wall Street, they wanted to occupy Wall Street,” Kelly told reporters.

“These people wanted to have confrontation with the police for whatever reason. Somehow, I guess it works to their purposes,” he added. He also promised such protesters would be “met with force when they do that,“ which he called ”just common sense.”

You can watch him detail his version of events below:

According to Kelly, the protests have cost the city $2 million for officers assigned to the protests.

And if you’re wondering if the police can force the protesters to move, the answer is “no.” WCBS-TV explains:

The problem for the city and the police is even if they wanted to, they can’t evict “Occupy Wall Street” as long as they make Zuccotti Park their headquarters. It is private space that must be opened to the public

“The charter, it gives access to the park 24 hours a day, seven says a week,” Kelly said.

When asked by CBS 2′s Marcia Kramer if there was an end game, his response was carefully considered.

“You know, we’ll see. Right now they’re on private property and people who own that property don’t have the power to eject them,” he said.

But Brookfield Office Properties, which owns Zuccotti Park, seems to be slowly building a case against protesters, saying Thursday that the protestors are interfering with the use of the park by others and are creating sanitary problems.

    Don’t some of the police union dues eventually wind up supporting the unwashed.. I still think very large bounties on littering and other infractions to be paid for by the those convicted could cut back on the large cost to the occupied municipalities. If people got $1000 for video evidence leading to a littering arrest and conviction, then budding capitalists could make money off the parasites.

    What have we learned in 2,066 years?

    “The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled,
    public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be
    tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should
    be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to
    work, instead of living on public assistance.”

    – Cicero – 55 BC

    Useful idiots. Everyone who knows the truth needs to get the word out to these minions of the progressive movement. Use information from the BLAZE and take it to the streets. Print leaflets, Twitter it, put it on Facebook, speak the truth to your neighbors and especially YOUR CHILDREN. Perhaps the truth can diffuse this whole thing.

    If they don’t nip this in the bud now and get these people out of the area it will grow larger and may include the National Guard in addition to police. It probably smells like a cesspool down there. See Liberals are nothing but animals and have NO COMMON SENSE.

    Yes they have a right to protest, but they don’t have a right to destroy public or private property. Time to launch the tear gas or better yet; gather about 50 skunks and get them agitated almost enough to spray then release them into the crowd. That should get them to leave.

      In the same interview the commissioner is also stating that the protesters are not allowing sanitation workers to clean the toilet facilities at the park and it’s creating a sanitation problem. When we call these lefty idiots “smelly”…we’re not kidding.

    Never doubt that when a Leftist loon sez they don’t want any violence, that they are praying for it so that they can be “martyrs” for the cause. That‘s why they’re in love with Muslim terrorist, and death row inmates. They have such a passive/aggressive personality that just being around them gets on my nerves. With the lack of bathing, they spew pheromones into the air with reckless abandon (not to mention the BO)

    If this can be verified and proven, then it confirms once again that the organization of the protests do want more and more confrontation to where they will try to claim being brutality carried against them. Pray that the police will be kept safe and whole, and this mess will be ending soon peacefully.

      Unfortunately Jenny the Tea Party is being subjected to an overthrow. These protesters, their tactics aside, are spewing stuff that the Tea Party in a MORE lawful manner have been saying as well. For example “regulate the Fed” “investigate corruption on Wall Street” “investigate and prosecute those involved in the sub prime loan scandal”. I think this is the tactic that made the Republicans into the Racists rather than the Democrats who supported slavery and enacted the Jim Crowe laws. They also have subdued the knowledge that Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King Jr were Republicnas!

      “investigate the corruption on Wall Street.”

      OK. What are they accused of. They sold ‘mortgage back securities’ that were given an AAA rating by the likes of Standards and Poors. Why in the name of blazes would S&P lend their good name to such a ridiculous financial instrument, when it was apparent that the bubble would burst?

      You‘re sitting down aren’t you? I don’t want you to hurt yourself when you finally understand the true culprit here.

      Why would S&P give bubble inflated mortgages a AAA rating? Because the FEDERAL government had !!guaranteed!! the loans.

      Think about that. What does it mean? Have you ever co-signed a loan for someone? Did you know what you were getting yourself into? The loan officer should have said something to the effect of, “If this person can’t pay the loan for any reason, YOU will be held responsible.” The ‘mortgage backed securities’ did not have a AAA rating. The US GOVERNMENT had an AAA rating that Barney Franks wrapped around them.

      Now, who are you going to investigate, and what are you going to charge them with?

      =================================

      Get a clue before you comment:

      “Companies pay S&P to rate their debt issues. As a result, some critics have contended that S&P is beholden to these issuers and that its ratings are not as objective as they ought to be and that, in fact, this “pay to play” model makes their ratings meaningless at best and perhaps would more accurately be compared to the role of the “shill” in a game of three card monte.”

      If the federal government had indeed guaranteed all of those loans, then Lehman Brothers would still be in business today.
