Occupy Protester Passes Obama A Note Criticizing His ‘Silence’ Over ‘Police Brutality’

 

Following a speech at a Manchester high school in New Hampshire, an Occupy protester handed President Obama a note that criticized his “silence” over the “police brutality” going on over the protests. Obama took the note, paused and studied its contents for a few moments before continuing on to shake hands at the event.

Keen eyed AP photojournalist Charles Dharapak focused in on what the President was reading:

Mr. President: Over 4000 peaceful protesters have been arrested. While bankers continue to destroy the American economy. You must stop the assault on our 1st amendment rights. Your silence sends a message that police brutality is acceptable. Banks got bailed out. We got sold out.
