Occupy Obama lawsuit clears federal hearing

by IndyRadio/David Roknich
A federal lawsuit by Occupy Wall Street protesters against NYPD officials will proceed to trial. Motions for summary judgement by former NYC police commissioner Ray Kelly et al were denied after a hearing last week by Judge Thomas Griesa of New York's Southern District.

On the night of November 30, 2011 protesters were arbitrarily penned up and then arrested on false charged by officers who claimed they were protecting the POTUS.

"In fact, defendants freely admit that police officers knew of no specific threats to the president that night, and the officers did not observe protesters threatening any violence or criminal activity in the press pen," said Judge Griesa during a hearing last week. A jury trial is demanded: we are waiting for the court schedule to be set.

The attached complaint from April 30, 2012 tells the story.
