ReplyDeleteLet's build a "Wall of SHAME"
ReplyDeletePost pictures of police, show their faces, that act violently against protesters, and make arrests, on Flickr and tag them #occupywallstreetpolice
Flickr will act as a repository of pictures and the tag as a filter.
The idea is to increase peer pressure on police (from their family and friends) in order to slow down the negative feedback loop that make these events spiral down towards violence.
Good idea Tiberius. Mikiverse Politics will actively support any efforts to create this "WALL OF SHAME".
