"Seems that arresting people, bringing dogs, using pepper spray on a bunch of Iowans peacefully assembled is a gross overreaction but there is no doubt with a Branstad governorship, restraint and common sense will probably not prevail. Arresting people unnecessarily will only serve to fuel the flames of dissent and generate support and media coverage for the movement. Best coverage can be found at the Occupy Facebook pages and Twitter. Use hashtags #Occupyiowa #OccupyDSM, etc. Have not seen any national coverage of the Des Moines arrests yet but no doubt the lefty blogs will be on it soon. Just do a google search for the Iowa media coverage. Here’s the gist of things as they stand right now."

1. Heard about the arrests this morning. BAD MOVE, state of Iowa!

Does Branstad think the use of a personal goon squad will get more people on his side?

2. dogs & pepper spray?.. Good video will bring more coverage..

Is there some aside from that at your link?
