It's too bad that police actions are being used to bring sympathy to this movement that can't seem to gain more support any other way.
When you can't focus on the good things because there are so few, when there is little else, you take the bad, the isolated and instigated incidents and portray them in ways that benefit the cause, gain sympathy and support where otherwise there would be little or none.
They want violence and anger, and will not relent in their efforts to make it happen.

IMO you hit the nail on the head with this one.
I read where an OWS supporter said that their plan was to provoke violence through nonviolent means. To me, the "provoking violence" part negates the "nonviolent means" part. If their agenda is instigating violence AGAINST them, in order to elicit sympathy, outrage, etc., then they are not a nonviolent movement. Period.

Much fish to fry, rhetorically speaking...people need to learn about this as well as protest...but learning these things should be priority number one. Otherwise, the same old #e will continue...
