It was going to come to this because the police have set the precedent for violence.
The police would much rather be doing their usual regular jobs, or having more time at home with their families.
OWS demands their presence, wants to provoke them, and wants martyrs to use in a media campaign and on the internet to push their agendas, and to demonize law enforcement even more than they already have.
The restraint they have shown will break down eventually, people will likely be hurt... And ultimately it wont change a damned thing.

So it's not just getting rid of our government it is the idea to replace it with a different form of government.
You think anything's going to change if you just get rid of the puppet show?
Oh, I see you don't want to overthrow the government, you think it would be good if it were larger, or maybe both; overthrow the government, then replace it with a bigger government.
These people are the ones constantly advocating smaller government simply because it means less puppets for them to have to pay off.

Why are so many people angry about this? Personally I'm glad OWS is standing up to the police. I disagree with most of the things they say and I'm not a fan of the movement but this is definitely a good thing.

Finally took to my advice on shields. What they need to do is make a wall with shields and to have staffs/ unsharpened spears. This will make a nearly impenetrable defense,

This will make a nearly impenetrable defense, and won't seriously injure police officers. Also, mobile protesters armed with NON spiked clubs on motorcycles, scooters, and bikes would allow for flanking.
If only I were in command. We would be sitting on the White House lawn.
