Police Clear ‘Meow Chanting’ #Occupy LA Freaks From Camp Insanity (Video)

Finally police moved in and arrested the #Occupy LA freaks and goons last night at their camp near city hall.
The “Meow Chanting” will be missed.
Police cleared the #Occupy LA camp last night.
The AP reported:
Police in Los Angeles and Philadelphia stormed Occupy Wall Street encampments in both cities Wednesday, demanding protestors leave demonstration sites that had become two of the movement’s largest after evictions upended others across the country.
Dozens of officers in riot gear flooded down the steps of Los Angeles City Hall just after midnight and started dismantling the two-month-old camp two days after a deadline passed for campers to leave the City Hall lawn. The raid had a military precision and officers in helmets and wielding batons moved in and began making arrests after several orders were given to leave the small park.
The raid in Los Angeles came after demonstrators with the movement in Philadelphia marched through the streets after being evicted from their site. Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa raised public safety and health concerns in announcing plans for the eviction last week, while Philadelphia officials said protestors must clear their site to make room for a $50 million renovation project.
Defiant Los Angeles campers who were chanting slogans as the officers surrounded the park, booed when an unlawful assembly was declared, paving the way for officers to begin arresting those who didn’t leave.
In the first moments of the raid, officers tore down a tent and tackled a tattooed man with a camera on City Hall steps and wrestled him to the ground. Someone yelled “police brutality.”
Teams of four or five officers moved through the crowd making arrests one at a time, cuffing the hands of protesters with white plastic zip-ties. A circle of protesters sat with arms locked, many looking calm and smiling.
Gone, but not forgotten.

Is there a more despicable group of crazies than the Occupests?
The “99%” now approved by 33% of the real 99% with 45% disapproval. (source PPP)
Gee, I wonder why.

The intellectual argument against capitalism as expressed by the Occupy LA crowd on the wall in the photo is readily understandable.
It’s just not persuasive.
MN Jim commented:
Keep repeating that obama and many Democrats aligned themselves with the OWS protestors, even though obama is the largest recipient of Wall Street bribes, er, donations in history.

#3 JF – don’t forget that Dem U.S. Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren bragged that she provided the intellectual foundation for this movement.

Don’t look now, but the TEA Parties have been peeling off the reasonable people who are reasonably repelled by the radicalism, ineptitude, and corruption of this administration.

So who wins? Obama the “Ocupier” or Jerry Brown the governor?
