CNN has images of riot cops moving down Broadway.

WTF is going on?

Edit: NY Daily News reports the cops are dealing with an impromptu, un-permitted march on Wall Street. The do not appear to be moving on the park.

1. OWS is marching without a permit

So, of course, they must bring the riot police in. It wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that the police weren't able to throw them out of the park this morning.

2. Oh no, are people going to be late to work because of the road blockage?

Oh the horrors! :sarcasm:

5. Some of them are crying about it.

Many people have just worked from home.

The protesters do have support as EdHopper indicated.

9. Yeah! Damn working people!!!!!

[Marrah_G]

10. This is FOR the working people

Many are just to fucking stupid to realize it.

[itsallhappening]

13. LOL.

So you're speaking for "the people," and if "the people" aren't backing you, they're just too stupid.

Got it.

[Marrah_G]

14. Wow... you completely miss the point

[itsallhappening]

18. Confirmation of what I said.

7. Imo, anyone who expects to ever have a nice rational conversation with

these Wall Street @ssholes, is going to be disappointed. Their security forces will do their best to wear out the protesters, and to make them go away. That means denying them even a moment of satisfaction if at all possible.

Two people supposedly jumped a barrier and got arrested. Which may be true or it may be cr@p and games. That's all they have to fight with at this point besides live rounds -- games.

8. looks like they're surrounding and barricading the protestors in the park

. . . from the live feed and the tweets.

11. Cleaner dressed as Santa...

:rofl:

"Asked why he chose to wear a Santa Claus costume, Behrle said, laughing, "I thought maybe I wouldn't get pepper sprayed if I dressed like Santa."

12. gee, I'm certainly glad that we live in a democracy - kinda like Egypt - where

they used the military riot police to try to get the protesters out of Tahir Square.

[myrna minx]

15. Perhaps the NYPD can raid the park with camels and machetes.

That worked well.

16. "First they came for the protestors ...

... but I was not a protestor. So I did not speak out."

17. Is this the "...then they fight you" part of Gandhi's axiom?

The part before "...then you win."?
