Retired Philadelphia police Captain Ray Lewis stood in full uniform with the Occupy Wall Street protestors this morning holding up a sign that read, "NYPD Don't Be Wall Street Mercenaries". When he he was arrested fellow protestors cheered.
Captain Lewis's bravery is a reminder that the Occupy Wall Street is a movement that encompasses people from all walks of life, from senior citizens to public servants, hippies to college grads and everything in between. The protest is about insisting that we, as a country, as Americans, can and must do better. And who doesn't support that?
