3. It is time for a law that strips ONLY the collective bargaining rights of
Law Enforcement Officers and FORBIDS unionization by any state agent with the authority to make arrests or press charges against the citizenry.

12. No them having unions isn't the problem here
...it's that the NYPD are corporate owned, more or less.

The dumbest thing NYC could do to #Occupy is what they are doing right now. Suppression always has the opposite effect.

NYC authorities clearly feel #OWS eviction is just and reasonable. That's why they are doing it at 2am and barring all press.

15. Damned right Homeland Security was involved.
Bought and sold by the rich folks, and DHS paid Blackwater to militarize the police.
They KNEW there would be rebellion some day.

We need to go Egypt all over the place.

17. "They... somehow forgot social media and camera-phones"
It may not be an accident.

I imagine at least 50% of the police are not happy about being there, doing this.

There will be many backlashes, some of them unpredictable.

20. "He said that all the press is in the press pen, and that's where I had to go"
Josh Harkinson reports being told this after he identified himself as a Mother Jones reporter.

He reports: "The riot police moved in with zip cuffs and teargassed the occupiers in the food tent.

All around me, protesters were being pepper sprayed and zip cuffed"
