so i saw how the nypd cleared out occupy wall street protesters in NY's Zuccotti Park last night. My first thought was what some of the 1% had firmly suggested to some higher ups in the nypd to clear it out. And that the nypd was kind of on the payroll of some of the 1%. because would they really be that stupid to do the things they did? to prevent press from entering? to close off airspace? doesn't seem like a very smart way to, what sounded like, a temporary eviction so they could clean the park. but then i start to read more, that the park is actually private property, and #ows were technical squatters. peaceful assembly, sure, but illegal habitation? that sounds off. anyway, what if it was a 1%'er who sides with the 99% and got the nypd to do the eviction, knowing that it would help the media continue to turn against the opposition? Or maybe the nypd is that stupid. why couldn't they just announce what they needed to do, give the protesters a couple days to clear out, give them a date they could return, and then clear them out if they haven't left yet? Then if protesters hadn't left, they could be as mean as they want, because the nypd was nice and cordial about it. but no, riot gear in the middle of the night, closing off the park for a block in all directions, preventing press from observing, closing the subway to prevent others from joining in against the eviction. Strange all around.
