They get arrested. <br /><br />Sorry to sound old-fashioned, but a cop tells you to do something, you do it.Marathon Pundithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05994493157706065371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10143237.post-9598228184906712102011-10-23T18:18:47.173-05:002011-10-23T18:18:47.173-05:00The Occupy Movement is a hodge-podge of different ...The Occupy Movement is a hodge-podge of different groups and individuals. You can probably find a variety of signs representing all sorts of opinions, from the Socialist Workers (who ever they are) to the "End the Fed" Paul supporters, to people who get involved in any cause of the moment. I don't think there is an official head, or any one group that is "hijacking" the demo. Although some of them might try to control it. Also, as to police crimes...I don't know what is being implied. I've heard that in some cities there have been questionable actions by the police toward a largely nonviolent crowd. Some cops do like to throw their weight around. Maybe there are a few protesters who get carried away. It could be elements of both sides at fault. <br /><br />Do I support them? No, but neither am I against them. I'm simply observing another chapter in history.JMPnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10143237.post-2641257110184750032011-10-23T09:27:18.356-05:002011-10-23T09:27:18.356-05:00There were A LOT of radical signs.
