3. Unfortunately I think this is fake.
Check out the page it looks like it was originally posted on back in March:

http://shareprintdistribute.wordpress.com/

You can see they have high quality versions of this photo and other ones that are very obviously fake.

5. Give it some time and I think you'll see cops coming out to support it.
Many (or most) cops aren't exactly making the big bucks.

9. According to the wikipedia page on occupywallstreet, NYPD have thus far spent
some $3.2 million on overtime and expenses. Something is going to have to happen...

10. We should make up signs targeted at cops, to remind them whose side they are really on
Like:

''Cops, if you protect Wall St. from us, who will protect YOU from THEM?''

''Cops, Wall St. wants to cut or steal your pay and pensions too.''

''The people you protect will screw you too''

and so on.
