6. New York City Council Member Hit And Arrested During Police Raid At Zuccotti Park
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/11/15/ydanis-rodriguez-arrested-hit-occupy-wall-street-raid_n_1094645.html

"Ydanis Rodriguez, New York City Council Member, was hit in the head and arrested during last night's police raid on Zuccotti Park.

According to The New York Times, he was with a group near the intersection of Broadway and Vesey Street that was attempting to link up with protesters at Zuccotti Park. The group tried to push through a line of officers trying to prevent people from reaching the park. Mr. Rodriquez was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.

...Jumaane D. Williams, council member of the 45th district, and colleague of Rodriguez confirmed the arrest this morning via Twitter and that Rodriguez was "bleeding from the head thanks to NYPD."

7. They should impeach Bloomberg
I suggest City Council should begin impeachment proceedings to remove Bloomturd from office for abuse of office, among other charges.

10. I doubt they'd be able to get the support to oust Bloombird...
he has too much power in NY. This is not Scott Walker we're talking about.

Hope Bloomberg gets booted or forced to resign.
