So much for the right wing propaganda, even Democrats are trying to disrupt the movement.

"New York state troopers and Albany police did not adhere to a curfew crackdown on protesters urged by Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) and Albany mayor Gerald Jennings."

"We were ready to make arrests if needed, but these people complied with our orders," a State Police official said"

"The bottom line is the police know policing, not the governor and not the mayor."

In a side note after the moving speech by Iraq was veteran and OWS protester, Sgt. Thomas of the US marine corps, there have been spin off groups of "occupymarines" and "occupypolice" which is growing momentum in support of the OWS movement

I don't think that some people here get that the D's in power have as much to lose as the R's if their piggy bank gets cut off. Good for the Marines and Police.

Neo-progressives aren't really too keen on liberals.

It would be interesting if the Military, Police and Fire Dept get behind and support the OWS. Wasn't it our Leaders who were extolling the virtues of the Military not cracking down in Eqypt.

So we should all support those right wing nutcases that think the "unions" like police and fire fighters are greedy, lazy, overpaid pieces of trash?

I was referring to you, a 100% pro-union poster, as well as those public servants whom are unionized and would be breaking contract by joining OWS, not the military. Reading is fundamental.

Default Shootings in NYC up over 150%, OWS to blame per NYPD

Gee, who would have guessed this?

Yep, OWS is taking up valuable city resources and endangering the lives of others by so doing.

Shootings are up and cops blame protests - NYPOST.com

Bullets are flying over Broadway -- and everywhere else in the city.

The number of people shot surged 154 percent two weeks ago -- to 56 from 22 over the same week last year -- and spiked 28 percent in the last month.
