Jeebus, Mike, who’s handling the PR on this Occupier thing, anyhow? That “Jake” kid that couldn’t shut Smith up? See, brutality is one thing, everybody understands that, but bagpipes? French bagpipes? What’s WRONG with you guys? And those Feds you’ve got downtown; wasn’t anybody watching the screens? Do you want the NPYD to look like your private goon squad? * * * From the New York Observer: The N.Y.P.D. was holding back regarding Occupy Wall Street protest actions on Saturday night until they put the smackdown on a band of European bagpipe players* in nothing flat. The pipers showed around 11 p.m. and began playing for the assembly, but within 5 to 10 minutes they had been arrested, resulting in a sharp rise in tension in the crowd. Smooth! And also under “dog bites man” we find Mayor-for-Life Bloomberg’s NYPD beating non-violent Occupiers: 1:20 @ShawnCarrie, arrested tonite in NY, tweets: “Police broke my left thumb and possibly my jaw. My right ear is bleeding and theres a bootprint on my face.” Posts cop’s name and badge number in another assualt. . …More arrests on march going on now. One guy (medic Jose) pushed into glass which cracks–right where I was walking earlier today. Ryan Devereaux: “Just saw police slam a protester into this door, 55 East 10th. Arrestee was punched in the face.”… @Jeff Sharlet: “At what point can we call this a police riot? Broken bones, broken windows, blood on the streets.” See also Times photos and Meg Robertson (Dyla Ratigan producer). And see this from NY City Council Member Ydanis Rodruigez. And also under “dog bites man” we find Mayor-for-Life Bloomberg’s NYPD refusing to take the handcuffs off a woman (Cecily McMillan) having a seizure (Greg Mitchell):

The OWS general assembly passed a rule months ago of no drumming or live music past 10 PM. What happened to the notion of being good neighbours who respect others that live there? They get an F in community relations. NY ordinance says 11 PM, so the bagpipe arrests are good. The rest could well be brutality.
Obama's watch stopped on 24 May 2008, but he's been too busy smoking crack to notice.
Damn. Don't these people realize that their proper place in society is camping down at their local Apple store waiting for the latest thing-a-ma-jig to go on sale?
Almost every country in the Middle East is awash in oil, and we have to side with the one that has nothing but joos. Goddamn, that was good thinkin'. Esso posted on 2012-01-13 7:37:56 ET

A "real" conservative wouldn't make that mistake.

I think the boot is on the other foot. Bloomberg is in your statist big government, progressive klan, he's no kin of mine.

Your silliness knows no bounds. Does Dr Paul think like you? If he does, he's lucky he got 6%.

Like the Bourbons, New York’s favorite, or at least most visible, oligarch seems to have learned nothing, and forgotten nothing. While Bloomberg is full of nothing but himself, the Occupiers are full of creativity and commmitment. Violence is the last refuge of the stupid and/or evil, as the almost saying goes. “They are who we thought they were.”
