From an eye witness. This is the Livestream from Luke Rudkowski of the night of Cecily’s arrest. The event was at the 6 month anniversary of OWS, before any of us understood how things could play out. Today was the first time I watched this video from start to finish. I think it serves as an excellent learning moment (I often watch my own footage to learn from it). In the moment, most of us do not think that our footage may be used later in a court room. I am in no way criticizing Luke for how upset he got. I probably would have tossed my camera and run across the street to help her and end up arrested and thereby useless. I think the reason Tim Pool got so popular with everyday people was because he is almost always cool headed as are many others (me? not so much). I often find myself unclear over whether I am reporting or participating when I stream…and there is a difference. As a participant we are PART of the action. As a journalist we are OBSERVERS and COMMENTATORS. I tip my proverbial hat to everyone who does this work. Most of us LOVE IT for various reasons. Some love being journalists/reporters. Some love being phnotographers. I love watching and interacting with people. Luke has my utmost respect and I hope this footage is allowed in court because it clearly shows who was violent that night.
