"Elective," or not, his tax dollars are paying for both the elevated police presence AND the cleanup. Those are facts. You can't argue them.
But, honestly, it wasn't fucking "elective." That's just ridiculous...
That's ridiculous. If the mayor ordered your entire town's police force to camp out on your lawn for no reason, the rest of the town would be 'paying for it' but it wouldn't make it your responsibility.
only 2 dozen at zucotti last night.
HAHA!
Yay corrupt billionares making the country poorer WOO HOO GO CROOKS!!!!!
What an idiot.
All three suspects said that they had spent the night at the Occupy Portland demonstration. They admitted that they brought the seized items to the demonstration in preparation for a confrontation with police when they expected to be forcibly removed from the park. They admitted being at the protest during the police confrontation and had left about an hour before Postelwait stopped them.
During the earlier Occupy Portland confrontation between police and protesters, a Portland Police Officer was injured when protesters began throwing fireworks at them. These subjects denied being involved in throwing the fireworks at the Officer.
The subjects were questioned further about the explosives. Each of them said that they knew the "Ball" canning jar would explode and cause glass shrapnel to fly out and possibly cause injury to anyone close to it.
Oakland Mayor Jean Quan let slip in an interview with the BBC that she had been on a conference call with the mayors of 18 cities about how to deal with the Occupy Wall Street movement. That is, municipal authorities appear to have been conspiring to deprive Americans of their first amendment rights to freedom of assembly and freedom to petition the government for redress of grievances.
Likewise, A Homeland Security official let it slip in a phone interview that the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security had been strategizing with cities on how to shut down OWS protests. The FBI is said to have advised using zoning ordinances and curfew regulations, and to stage the crackdown with massive police force at a time when the press was not around to cover the crackdown.
well, this idiot is about to get a huge pay raise in his next job starting next month.
damn those billionaires for holding me down.
in fact, 4 of my friends also received raises or switched to higher paying jobs in the past year.
want to know how we did it? i'll give you a hint.
"Occupying Wall St. for 2 months" wasn't listed as a bullet point on our resumes.
That idiot doesn't understand that wages would be nearly double if the distribution of income was at normal levels instead of having been shifted to the top 1%.
Not only would that idiot be far better off without the corruption, but he has a 'who care about any other people' selfish attitude as well. Unpatriotic, anti-democratic, immoral.
Juan Cole:
Can you provide a source for the wages doubling argument? I haven't seen that before.

I could care less whether or not you read my posts, if the news source is incorrect I'm man enough to admit it. You guys on the other hand piss and moan about the source rather than read what's being reported. The fact of the matter OWS protesters broke into private property and acts such as this do more to harm the movement rather than help. Just as the vandalism that took place during the Oakland protests reflects badly on the movement.

Yeah right
It's unreal that you actually believe that crap.
is it my duty to ensure that every lazy ass mofo currently "occupying" has a high paying job?
i'm responsible for myself and only myself. i could not care less about the billionaires of the world unless they are directly preventing me from succeeding.
and by directly, i mean them personally and physically preventing me from purchasing books to educate myself, by blacklisting my email address to stop my job applications, by stopping me at the door of every job interview.
maybe if everyone changed their attitudes and stopped envying what other people have, they would all be better off.
everyone has an opportunity to be successful and wealthy in this country. if they're not, they have no one to blame but themselves.
my grandparents came here over 60 years ago with nothing but a half empty suitcase and while they're not billionaires, they're far better off than they would've been had they stayed in their native land.
most importantly, they've instilled in me that success can be had with hard work.

BBYT, I fully 100% support OWS movement because it strikes the right chord with many of WORKING Americans.
I mean who disagrees with the fact that govt & corps are corrupted and jerk each other off all day?
I'm not with the clowns occupying the streets. But if you think the current state of govt and mega corps are doing fine, then you need to get your head checked.
Just like bank robbers, embezzlers, etc., right? They worked hard for their money. They deserve to be happy. Seems pretty selfish to hold them accountable for their actions or try to recover the riches they stole^h^h^h^h^h earned. Right?Or he cares so much about the rights of others and respects their work that he's unwilling to take from them. He wants them to be happy. Seems pretty unselfish to me. Even more so if it's directly to his detriment as you claim.
