NYPD Will Set Checkpoints All Around Financial District During OWS Birthday

The above photo is an email the Director of Security at Pace University sent to students, faculty and staff, advising them that due to the anniversary events, “as a precautionary measure, NYPD will establish check points throughout Lower Manhattan.” The email instructs Pace community members to carry their university IDs with them “in order to gain access through these checkpoints. Locations of the checkpoints are still to be determined.”

The NYPD has aggressively interfered with the rights of demonstrators throughout OWS’ short history. The fact that the police provided advanced notice to institutions in the area about roving checkpoints suggests they intend to continue this sordid tradition on Monday.

Wowwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Fuckin’ “checkpoints”?
