Video of NYPD intimidating Occupy Wall Street protesters with motorcycles – filmed on 8 October – an approach they have borrowed from the Iranian regime.

The clip above was filmed in New York on the 8th October. If the sight of police on motorcycles attacking peaceful demonstrators seems slightly familiar it may be because these were the tactics used by the Iranian regime against peaceful demonstrators in 2009 as the second clip below shows – condemned by US politicians at the time, it now appears that the US state has adopted the same approach.
