The white shirts are looking increasingly like they've learned their craft from the Bull Connor School of Stupid Police Tactics.
Naomi Wolf will certainly make asses of them for this. And, IMO, every single person arrested for demonstrating should plead innocent of whatever BS charges the Lord Protectors come up with and demand jury trials. If they want to clog their law and order system up with nothing but the repression of peaceful dissent, then I say let's help them clog it up.
@Raenelle - check out the Nathan Schneider piece - interesting ideas about why the police are being so stupid.
I heard earlier today that the pepper spraying cop, Tony Baloney, received, as punishment, 10 of his vacation days revoked. Oh, yeah, they're taking care of business.
FYI: Link to an interview w/ Wolf on the arrest over on the Guardian: http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/cifamerica/2011/oct/19/naomi-wolf-arrest-occupy-wall-street
"What did I take away? Just that, unfortunately, my partner and I became exhibit A in a process that I have been warning Americans about since 2007: first they come for the "other" – the "terrorist", the brown person, the Muslim, the outsider; then they come for you – while you are standing on a sidewalk in evening dress, obeying the law."
Great links today, Taryn, per usual. The discussion of the "left" in the movement was very interesting as well.
