Seems the police are now breaking up NYC #OWS protest on live feed
I was watching one feed and there was a confrontation with an officer and then it switched to another feed and there were cops swarming all over the place.

2. Looks like King Bloomberg finally made his move
If people are back there tomorrow, ready to be arrested and it continues from then on, then they'll overwhelm the system quickly. That's one of the ways non cooperation works.

20. No, and you can't destroy the left by assassinating a few leaders
You can only drive it underground, where it becomes much more dangerous.

4. You know JP Morgan Chase is going to demand their money's worth
After all, they just donated 4.6 million to the NYPD (and unprecedented amount) last week.

11. The president of the transit workers union just said they could bring muscle to OWS
He was just on with Keith O. He explained that their muscle was resources such as money that OWS doesn't have. The timing of all this tonight is interesting.

12. I saw on that same chat feed that the transit workers union
have also refused to allow their buses be used to take folks to jail. Did he mention that in the interview?

14. Yes, he said they were tickled about that
I wonder what the transit workers union will bring to the situation now given this police action tonight.

15. I saw a group of cops standing in a large flatbed truck earlier...
Very uncommon police transport vehicle. Are they leasing equipment to transport those arrested after TWU Local 100 refuse to transport arrestees for the NYPD?
