so far only/mostly property damage – plenty of it too. 7,000 people. subway stations closed, bridges closed, occupiers roped off, not allowed to take their stuff, all being put in a trash pile – computers, cameras, everything. nypd took their cue from pod?

It is co-ordinated from above. When they got all that fancy military equipment, that was the string that was attached.
Because they are counting on our apathy, we must respond by increasing tenfold. If we have been doing our job so far, this should happen. Every time they break up Occupy Oakland, I show up with tarps, with sandwiches, with fruit, whatever. We build a new space. They do not have the political or economic capital to defeat this tactic. Same I hope will be true for New York, and I salute them tonight. Rebuild it tomorrow. Depending on the city and circumstance, move it if necessary, but rebuild it.
