The most violent clash between OWS supporters and the police so far has erupted in Denver, as the authorities attempted to dismantle an Occupy camp. The Internet is swamped with hundreds of angry messages and pictures of rubber bullet wounds.

If you’re going to use payback as an excuse, you loose. Because police started it all originally. This isn’t pre-school; this is people being assaulted by people who are meant to protect them.
The raid on the camp was simply payback
escalation shown by the Occupy Denver protesters

I am not saying that the actions of the police were justified, but many of them are just doing their jobs.

The only escalation has been at the hands of police and that has been obvious from the start.
Stop supporting this crap; this could be you getting attacked sooner or later.

The Saturday afternoon protest crowd was much smaller than the would-be revolutionaries had hoped. However, the comically unfocused messages from the New York campers seem to be finding some filters. While there were the expected few signs with vulgarities aimed at government and bankers and corporations, the major focus of this day’s protestors was concern about growing corruption in the federal government.
