Bloomberg said this a.m. that people can go pick up their stuff that was taken from the park last night from the Sanitation Dept. garage on the west side. But the Sanit crews were told to treat it all as trash and they dumped and destroyed much of it including not only the OWS Library >5k of books but all the medical supplies in the med tent. I've heard people who were there last night say the garbage men were taking things home saying "this would just go to the landfill if I didn't take it" when told it was private property.

1. When they fight you...this is what it looks like.

If you are committed to non-violence, you channel rage into responses that tie-up the resources of the system and make them sorry they did what they did. Lawyers/legal assistants must look at the disposition of the confiscated property and see if it was handeled within the law. If not, it's off to court to put some strain on the system.

This is what struggling for democracy looks like.

2. NYPD is just organized crime? Need a laptop? come to the raid. need your ticket fixed? talk to any
cop on the street or come on down to the police union office for illegal assistance.

And yes I am a lawyer but I don't play one on TV, unlike Spader. :D

You have NOTHING to sue about.
