Charges Dismissed As Video Catches NYPD Lying At First #OWS Trial

This case could have been a slam dunk for the NYPD, had it not been for one thing: the video showing police claims of disorderly conduct during an OWS protest to be completely untrue.

The NYPD has been caught repeatedly lying about the reasons for arresting and assaulting Occupy Wall Street protestors as well as violating numerous constitutional rights.

It is sad to see that some Americans condone such acts of police state fascism just because they don’t agree with the political views of the victims but in court the first Occupier to stand trial was vindicated of the false accusations brought before him by the police.

During the trial, the NYPD lied under oath, claiming that photographer Alexander Arbuckle was subject to a brutal arrest for blocking traffic.

The the defense shows a video of the entire incident which proved not only were the police lying, but it was NYPD were the only people blocking traffic and hence framed the arrested protestors.

Sadly the Constitution trampling crackdown will only escalate from here as the police will be emboldened for not getting in trouble for such behavior.

Why would they when the crackdown is being coordinated by the White House, the Pentagon and the Department of Homeland Security.

NYPD loses face and first Occupy Wall Street trial

RT - This case could have been a slam dunk for the NYPD, had it not been for one thing: the video showing police claims of disorderly conduct during an OWS protest to be completely untrue.

Hundreds have been arrested during the Occupy Wall Street protests, but photographer Alexander Arbuckle’s case was the first to go to trial – and after just two days, the Manhattan Criminal Court found him not guilty.

Supporters of the OWS protest movement have already hailed the ruling as a major legal victory.

Arbuckle was arrested on New Year’s Day for allegedly blocking traffic during a protest march. He was charged with disorderly conduct, and his arresting officer testified under oath that he, along with the protesters, was standing in the street, despite frequent requests from the police to move to the sidewalk.

But things got a little embarrassing for the NYPD officer when the defense presented a video recording of the entire event, made by videographer Tim Pool.

Pool’s footage clearly shows Arbuckle, along with all the other protesters, standing on the sidewalk. In fact, the only people blocking traffic were the police officers themselves

His lawyers said the video proving that testimony false is what swayed the judge, and the verdict a clear indication that the NYPD was over-policing the protests.

The irony of the case, however, is that Arbuckle was not a protester, or even a supporter of the Occupy movement. He was there to document the cops’ side of the story.

A political science and photography major at NYU, Arbuckle felt the police were not being fairly represented in the media.

“All the focus was on the conflict and the worst instances of brutality and aggression, where most of the police I met down there were really professional and restrained,” the student said.

However, his good intentions only landed him in trouble. As with all the other detained protesters, the police offered Arbuckle an Adjournment in Contemplation of Dismissal (ACD), which basically means he would be let off the hook if he agreed not to fight the charges. But to Arbuckle, that meant an admission of guilt, and he decided to take the case to trial.
