The Mighty Sha, as I affectionately call him, has a new video, which is going viral as we type, featuring his verbal schooling of the NYPD in defense of the #OWS movement concerning police brutality against peaceful protesters. Shamar has been on the frontlines witnessing police assaults several times. He was with us last week when the police unleashed pepper-spray and wildly swung their batons around during a protest that was blocked off from Wall Street. We will post some great footage of him standing in uniform holding up his hand in a peace sign, with the American flag blowing behind him, seconds before the police unleashed their assault. At the time, I thought I was very lucky to not be arrested. Now I realize, the reason I wasn’t was most likely because The Mighty Sha was directly to my right. So many amazing moments happening so often within this movement – awe inspiring!
