Occupy Tampa Affirms Support For TPD

"Occupy Tampa affirms support for our brothers and sisters in law enforcement, who, as public sector workers, are a part of the 99% of the population that is not controlling most of the country’s wealth. We understand the police have orders to follow from the politically motivated city administration and that to disobey those orders could result in their termination with the force."
Occupy Tampa

The ongoing and fervent assault on the working families of America must come to an end. Occupy Tampa stands committed to continuing the dialogue
that the Occupy Movement has brought to the consciousness during this American Autumn.
