It's 11 minutes so here's an overview:

-Interview with the camp's attorney, who is appalled at the highly disproportional show of force against some 15 #Occupiers
-Newscaster who insists upon repeating the concept that there is somehow a crowd involved
-Short interview at end with a city council? member who was not told about the raid, is displeased about that

1. The military says you need a 10to1 superiority to put down an
insurgency. Looks like Dallas got it about right. Thats if you define a peaceful unarmed protest as an insurgency.

I guess the reason they left the teabaggers alone was because they were armed.

2. It's just pathetic. I don't remember seeing a single protester in the camp
yet they have how many cops on horses ready to run them over? Feh!

3. As Councilwoman Hunt said, "It seems like overkill to me"
By the time police moved in, only 15-20 Occupiers remained on-site.
