Must read Josh Harkinson account from behind police lines.

Tue Nov. 15, 2011 10:36 AM PST

By about 4 a.m. today, New York City police had pushed the media out of Zuccotti Park and were preparing to evict the few dozen protesters who remained. Yet there I was, standing in the park amid a gaggle of high-ranking officers, quietly watching the whole thing unfold.

"You gonna occupy awhile?" one officer cracked to another.

"Yeah," the other guy smiled.

I stood next to them against a short granite wall, trying to avoid notice.

Like the other reporters who'd swarmed to Lower Manhattan to cover the eviction, I'd quickly discovered that the media was not allowed here. The police had created a one-block buffer zone around the park—in some areas two or three blocks—and were refusing to admit even the most credentialed members of the press. A New York Times reporter had already been arrested, a member of the National Lawyers Guild told me. I feared that Occupy Wall Street's big day was being censored.

4. Dox.
In this context, dox is used as a verb, meaning "to identify an individual and post his identity, phone number, e-mail address, and any other personally identifiable information to the internet."

Dox is also sometimes used as a noun, and in those cases, "dox" (short for documents) is the collection of information itself.

6. "frozen zone" and "press pen"
The "press pen" caught my eye earlier from the blog of his tweets:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=102&topic_id=5059843&mesg_id=5060443

Now add that and "frozen zone" to the lexicon of restrictions, like "free speech zone," kettling, etc on citizens and press.

7. We need to start declaring any police raid a riot
and any gathering of police forces at these camps "crime scenes".

16. Whoa. NYPD issues or doesn't issue press passes
at their discretion. Like the Pentagon. I didn't know that. (Listening to Josh's video).
