NYPD uses "people’s microphone" to talk to protesters

Author Naomi Wolf was arrested at the OccupyWallStreet protests. When some protesters went to the police station to follow up on her arrest, the police apparently used the protesters' "people's microphone" method of communications, where one person speaks then the crowd repeats what they just said so that someone far away can hear it.  From the Twitter feed of Mother Jones' Josh Harkson:


This is perhaps the first smart thing the NYPD has done throughout the entire weeks of protest. They're being nice, normal, even funny human beings. Let's see if others in the NYPD follow suit, or whether we get more videos today of cops beating innocent protesters.
