Paramilitary Policing of Occupy Wall Street: Excessive Use of Force Amidst the New Military Urbanism

We host a discussion on policing and the Occupy Wall Street movement with Chuck Wexler, director of the Police Executive Research Forum, which helped organize calls among police chiefs on how to respond to the Occupy protests, and with Norm Stamper, the former police chief of Seattle, who recently wrote an article for the Nation magazine titled “Paramilitary Policing From Seattle to Occupy Wall Street.”
