Perhaps police brutality againt the encampments is in and of itself the meme to demonize #Occupy.

Enough reports on MSM that police forcefully evicted encampments may eventually turn those who have never heard of youtube.

Did you hear, Marge? Police had to attack another of those dirty protests!

(Won't someone think of the CHILDREN!?!?)

Look at the LYING public report from Oakland PD, saying they'd used no flash-bangs or rubber bullets and that any loud sounds heard were of protesters throwing M-80s at officers, and that protesters were throwing things at officers prior to them attacking. They're trying to get away with it, but Keith Olberman and Jon Stewart and others are using THEIR media power to counter it. Lines have indeed been drawn.

1. Alas every attack is making more peeps angry
A sign last night said it best. "Thanks SDPD for joining our media outreach team. Each attack makes us stronger."

2. I know they won't win, I'm just interested in analyzing and destroying their tools.

4. My coworker/business partner
...and dear friend of twelve years has long said that when the totalitarian fascists fully consolidate their power in the US it will be done in the name of the children.

5. Of course, it goes to maternal/paternal instinct. I know you know that is how kontrol functions.

6. I disagree. I think this is a growing movement. Repukes can't be swayed no matter what
Repukes will lie to conceal the truth. However, the rest of the country will not.

Cops are being photographed being bullies, they're being recorded being bullies. That can't be concealed.

But the Faux News people will continue to spew bs. That will not be changed.
