Reply email from my brother who's a cop.
I sent my brother who's a los angeles deputy sheriff a few videos of occupy wall street, including the "I AM NOT MOVING" video clip.
Here's the response:
I hope it gets even bigger because that’ll mean alot of overtime for me just like back when I was working the Rodney King riots…..I made LOTS of extra money. Chaa…Ching !

2. I'm curious as to how much of a rookie your brother is?
He sounds like he's really young and following the "alpha" group mentality.... IOW... he'll look at that statement differently later... Saved here!
Well unless the Rodney King riots happened last week, I'd say he isn't exactly a rookie.

8. "Rookie"? Not even close. He's been a Los Angeles Deputy Sheriff for 20yrs
After serving in the Marines for several years and shortly after serving in Desert Storm as a Marine Scout Sniper, he joined the Los Angele's Sheriff's Department.

4. Well some think that way
OWS locally marching with cops in solidarity. Yesterday I talked to occupiers and baby sitters. Some of the boys in blue get it...they'll be there, one pink slip away.
Given local politics has a lot to do with it.

5. This nation's biggest problem, IMHO, is the people who put personal
financial gain before all other considerations.
This coming from people who want financial gain and not having to lift a finger to get it, they want the government to simply take it from the 1% and hand it to them.

6. Cops are 99%ers too.
I'm sure he can use the boost. He should thank the protestors.
Sounds like he will thank them, for giving him the OT and the chance to pound on some hippies.
