Its not an "occupation", its an infestation and needs to be dealt with accordingly.

So it's okay to pepper spray innocent civilians who have taken part in a protest?

Just curious.

Innocence was tossed aside when they decided to be non compliant.

Going hands on is typically something that alot of cops want to stay away from.

And pepper spray is not permanent.

This is exactly what Obama and DHS wanted.
They start a movement.
It creates a problem.
They come in with a "solution".

Watch. New laws against protesting, massing in groups, speaking out, will come next.

Exactly what Obama wanted. And OWS were their willing dupes.

I agree. I'm not sure you're 100% right about exactly what they've done or why but I agree something smells very wrong here. People need to stop and think before just blindly supporting this movement. TPTB obviously wanted to rile people up with the scenes of cops spraying people and stuff. Otherwise, they would have just ordered their officers to use the utmost restraint and only use force if absolutely necessary. This is a red flag for me. They were obviously ordered to use force that was way out of proportion to the scale of the problem. And the media obviously amplified it. Further, the authorities would have obviously known that it was going to be amplified by the media before they ordered it. I think it is meant to draw more people in. I don't have any idea what they're up to but that's my two cents on it.
