PHILADELPHIA, PA — On a monthly basis, the Panic Hour and Philly Norml hold a protest at the Liberty Bell in Old City Philadelphia. Each time there is a varying degree of police presence with agencies, such as, the US Park Service, Fish and Wildlife, the Philadelphia Police Department, SEPTA Police, Homeland Security and ICE.
At the most recent protest, a disturbing development was observed — US Park Service Rangers wearing video and audio recording devices to surreptitiously monitor protesters.
PHILADELPHIA, PA — Do these police officers look more like the defensive line of a professional football team than they do a bike patrol?
That is because the Philadelphia Police Department uses bicycles as weapons not fitness equipment. During the eviction of Occupy Philly, the bike patrols injured and maimed multiple protesters with their bikes. After forming a line with the bikes, officers move the bikes towards citizens. Eventually, people get caught up in the gears. Police officers then puncture limbs with the sprockets.
