Personally, I applaud you for your bravery, and self restraint. You clearly knew your rights, and I sincerely hope you hand the city it’s ass on a silver platter over this. They need to stop abusing their citizens. You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar, when are this country’s politicians going to learn that they need to rebuild a bond of trust that has been shattered with their citizens and that the best way to do that isn’t by abusing them?
Bravo, Naomi, for knowing the law and standing by your right to be where you were. And a special congratulations for being willing to be arrested for asserting your rights. I assume that the city attorney will decline to prosecute but if not, then ask for a jury trial (as everyone arrested at Occupy protests should do). With the video evidence, you will be acquitted and, in the process, you will tie up the court over a nonsense charge.
Hello! Thank you so much for telling the story in such a transparent manner. I think it is important for people to hear the kinds of things that police say to try to intimidate people, such as the part about saying the record will follow you around the rest of your life. Interesting tactics. Thanks for standing with the people! Very brave!
ive read your books and agree with much of what you say in them………actually MOST of it……but your WAY too smart to go down their and NOT focus the protestors on the CORE issues: Federal Reserve, Patriot Act, Wars……not this “wall street” garbage. Wall street has Power ONLY through the govt-fed reserve system….C’mon
Good for you, right or wrong you stood up for what you believe in. I happen to think you were right, but either way, you stood up in a non-violent way to say: I will be counted, you will not silence me. We need more of that in this country. Keep the faith.
Way to go Naomi! Sorry you got arrested. The problem with NY cops is that they have no empathy.
Who’s the guy with the stupid grin on his face standing with you and why wasn’t HE arrested?

Way to go. Personally, I had to chuckle to myself at this part of your post…
“…if I rejoined the protesters and got arrested my fingerprints would be taken, the sergeant gestured at a camera and said my photo would be taken, it would all be entered into a federal database and follow me forever.”
Now. Why is that so amusing? Last year, I had to travel from Florida to California, but had lost my ID. The ticket agent stated that I would have to go to security, TSA, to see if they’d ok my boarding. Upon arriving at TSA’s security area, I was told that they’d have to make a phone call and I’d have to answer some questions. I was asked the sundry questions about family, birth dates, etc, but they began asking me for addresses I’d lived at throughout my life AND what the names of my neighbors were at those addresses.
So, take our pictures, take our fingerprints (if you drive, have an ID or a passport, you’ve already given them these, willingly), file away….because I know the government already has those in the national database that was accessed in order to decide if I could fly. FACT. What’s amusing, is this officer’s implied threat….as if it MEANT something *shrug*
I’m particularly disturbed by the “chilling effect” your arrest had…as the cops warned you that ‘the next time you’re arrested’ you’ll have the book thrown at you. You’ve commented in this sort of thing in the past very well. I’d like to see you on Andrew Napolitano’s show talking about this angle of the police state that exists here.
Also, I agree…that you and your friend looked good during this otherwise very disturbing event. Anyone who’s ever been on the receiveing end of these armed thugs can tell you it is anything but pleasant…very frightening.
Darlling little girls, I spent about two weeks here because I care about all the hurting kids being exploited by the GA Wolves. Their message: “Shut Up Mom.” And every single parent I have talked to see them for what they are. When I was 23, world famous psychoanalysts let me rewrite their books. Now I am not supposed to talk. Since they don’t know there ever was another JA, they see no problem in censoring and censoring and censoring Jane Austen. Your people are blind. I think the cops have been miracles of restraint.
You were idiotic to get arrested. That’s their whole agenda. Get people arrested so more people will realize we are the second coming and that will show mom. Fetching combo of slut walk and nonviolent resistant. You’ve always cared too much about your appearance.
By one every girl should learn, “Shut the Fuck Up, You Stupid Shithead.” They prefer it to mommy. But first they learn not to take shit from you; then they are invincible. When my oldest was 23, “Vanessa can handle anything that comes up anywhere in the world. Meet Vanessa Wyeth and Katherine Hawkins, who probably would have been treated the same way I was, but would never have set foot there.
My daddy when I was 5: “Sweetheart, don’t ever worry if everyone in the world thinks you are wrong. You are smarter than they are.” Well if any of you have given birth to four daughters without drugs, including a 10 lb. 4 oz and 9 lb. 8 oz. one at home, nursing for more years than I am comfortable to admit lest I be registered as a sex offender, stay home with them for 15 years, took care of my mom 24/7—we all know there is only one me. Having a tall, dark, handsome Englishmen 16 years younger helps me laugh at the dried up all cunt rhetoric that supporting Hillary unleashed.
Remind me. Who did you vote for?
[...] I’ll leave you with social activist David Suzuki’s thoughts at Occupy Montreal. And with the arrest of Naomi Wolf by the NYPD. [...]
