WALL ST – TalleyTV visited occupied Wall Street with three FR33 Agents from the Shire, Michele 7, Derrick J and Ryan Maddox. There they met up with other allies, including Ethan Lee Vita who agreed to be interviewed about his occupation experiences.
During our recording, Ethan and I were approached my a uniformed lieutenant employed by the New York Police Department. He was trying to intimidate Ethan and myself into leaving the spot where we were standing – in front of a piece of art. Neither of us moved and the law enforcer couldn’t cite and reason or law why it was necessary for us to move. So we continued going about our peaceful business.
Ya know – you might have gotten a little better dialogue out of the cop if you weren't acting like a douche to him for simply asking you to move.

In fact I find it pretty menacing when someone, with the power a cop has, "pretends" like he isn't doing anything while rubbing against you. The cop did the… Read more »
That cop has probably dealt with 50 zillion dicks a day; it shouldn't be any wonder why he isn't the guy we see in the Norman Rockwell Diner; he isn't patrolling Keene. Who knows why he asked him to move – perhaps there was a legitimate reason – maybe they just are trying to contain everyone in certain areas. Whether one or the other thinks it's a good reason or a bad reason – he was by no means a total asshole to Jason. Just because a cop asks you to do something doesn't mean he is tripping on "power".… Read more »
