CURRENT TV Countdown w/ KEITH OLBERMANN - 31 Oct. 2011: Keith interviews Jeannie Hartley of the OccupyDenver media team, after he updates on the latest developments in the Occupy Wall Street movement.

HARTLEY: "What I witnessed was not anyone being unruly." It was a peaceful protest, "it turned into something worse.

"It was extraordinary the amount of police force that were present before anything was, I guess by their definition, I'm guessing, unruly."

"They had hundreds of police force, Keith, surrounding a FOOD TABLE. Hundreds of them, in riot gear. This was an unnecessary expense to Denver, by far."

- snip -

"I also think that, on a grander scale of things... is that people have taken to the streets because of so many injustices that have been in place for far too long, you know, with the issues of the underwater mortgages, and the corporate greed, and the student loans... and there's no jobs in sight, and the cost of the wars, unending cost, precious lives... People are in the streets because of injustice. So, for the police force to inflict more injustice upon us, it's not going to make us leave the streets, it's going to make more people come into the streets."
