federalize the National Guard & order them to protect citizens at Occupy events from unlawful police violence.

Created by D.H. on November 15, 2011

In New York, the police have violently evicted peaceful protesters from Zuccotti Park, destroyed their possessionds and kept them out, in violation of a court order.

In Denver, the police have violently suppressed Occupy Denver, which adhered to a strong principle of non-violence, using tear gas, pepper spray, pepper-ball rounds fired at people's heads, and physical beatings.

In Oakland, the police violently suppressed its Occupy movement, at one point, firing a tear-gas canister into Marine veteran Scott Olsen, causing life-threatening brain-damage.

The police and local governments are out of control, and in contempt of the Constitution. The President needs to federalize the National Guard and order them to protect American citizens from these violent police assaults.
