1. All false arrests, just like in NYC and elsewhere. And the cops lie and get away with it.

But kudos to the original organizers who anticipated cops lying, false arrests etc and were so well organized in terms of documenting every arrest and having legal observers at every large event. They just couldn't lie in the face of the video evidence and eye witnesses.

It was all intimidation, and it was a disgrace.. It violated every constitutional right people have to peacefully gather and protest and the US disgraced itself with the whole world watching.

Now on to the lawsuits, by the journalists and occupiers who were falsely arrested. They have been doing great in this phase of the movement.

Thanks for the update, Fire.
