It's all a lot to handle. I do think it's important to note: they came to our turf, followed our process, and asked what we needed. #boom

For any who do not know, getting on stack is putting your name on a list of people who will get to speak on any current topic being discussed at a General Assembly, in the order in which their names were taken...so NYPD is following the OWS speaking format, of horizontal, participatory democracy. Genuinely amazing and heartening!
