A protester facing off with NYC's finest. Because of some obscure law protesters are not allowed to wear masks when protesting so they wear them backwards. After seeing the NYPD's actions today such as pepper spraying non-violent protesters and arresting people for just walking down the street one has to wonder, are they there to protect our rights or to protect the corporate interests? One chant I liked hearing today was "we got sold out and they got bailed out!"
