Everything I've seen about that incident, including comments by the police themselves, indicates that the actions which resulted in the crackdown weren't taken by Occupy but by violent rowdies who had moved in on the same space. The police did the right thing and this has nothing to do with the movement really.
It doesn't matter--when people see others getting away with civil disobedience-(camping out unlawfully in public parks)---you are going to attract many others whom may not be a civil as you.
If any violence comes out of this--the ONLY people who are going to be blamed will be the occupy whatever protest group in it's entirety. Obviously it's heating up already.
and remember they have obamallama's blessing.. yep
