Police Captain Ray Lewis Arrested at Occupy Wall StreetLewis

[opposingviews] Former Philadelphia police captain Ray Lewis was arrested during the Occupy Wall Street protests in New York City on Thursday (video below).

Before his arrest, Lewis had been seen walking around holding up a sign in the face of riot cops saying: "NYPD don’t be Wall St mercenaries."

Lewis said that he would be back out on the streets as soon as he was released.

He also had harsh words for his fellow officers: "They complained about the park being dirty. Here they are worrying about dirty parks when people are starving to death, where people are freezing, where people are sleeping in subways and they’re concerned about a dirty park. That’s obnoxious, it’s arrogant, it’s ignorant, it’s disgusting."
