Occupy Protestors Leaving Huge Trash Heaps Behind
Is the Occupy Wall Street Protest Period over? Well, we don't know for sure, there has been talk about the LA port workers along with other major US ports having a union strike, and occupy protest.
It seems that the transportation agencies are getting ready, along with all of the shipping companies for that potential eventuality.
I guess there will be more protestors available now that they've been kicked out of all the parks, and out of City Hall in Los Angeles during a mid-night police crackdown.
Okay so, let's talk shall we? There was an interesting article recently in the LA Times titled; "To clear Occupy camp, LAPD uses new tactics - Police abandon classic strategies to design a crowd-control plan unique to L.
A.
site," by Mitchell Landsberg, Joel Rubin and Kate Linthicum, all reports with the Los Angeles Times, which was published on December 1, 2011.
The tactics of the police worked well, and they swarmed into position in a grid formation and immediately took control, so no one was injured and they had overwhelming force; Karl von Clausewitz style.
There was also a picture showing all the trash that the protestors had left behind, it was disgusting, amazing, and very telling.
It doesn't leave much sympathy from the electorate, or the public to see that.
Was this an attempt to slander the protestors and occupy movement? Well, perhaps, but remember the LA Times reporters were with the occupiers, not the police.
On the same day the LA Times ran a story about "excessive force" in the LA County Jails, so it's not as if the reporters were trying to smear the reputation of the occupiers.
Indeed, in studying all this, it does not seem to me that anyone is purposefully attempting to malign the occupiers rather, it seems to be a reflection of the mentality of the folks who are engaged in these activities.
It certainly detracts from any sort of message they might have been trying to put forth, and I would have thought that folks in Los Angeles would have had a little bit more respect for other people's property, the parks, and the local environment they were borrowing to make their statements (too numerous to mention in this single article).
As far as the public sentiment is concerned now - the Occupy Protestors have over stayed their welcome, no longer enjoy public support, and thus, were evicted just as promised when they refused to leave.
Over 200 were arrested in LA for trespassing and the city ordinance regarding camping over night.
It looks like for now anyway, it's all come to an end.
Please consider all this.
