Its been crazy here, being in the NYC area, the police brutality is continuing, and for little reason most of the time. Yes, there are instances where they are provoked, but more often not so much.
Unfortunately, for all the protesting, people can't seem to unite under one mindset. You got the hippies and their offspring, hipsters, meditating in parks and wanting police and the qual distribution of money. You got people angry at the banks, and then you got people who actually have intelligent points that get drowned out by everyone else.
My band had wrote a song a few days before the protests began, which just happened to line up with what was going on, really odd coincidence. We put up a video of the raw footage along with our song on youtube. Check it out -
