This was promptly -- and brutally -- followed by a National Park Service raid, which included the assistance of the Philadelphia police department, on approximately 150--200 people peacefully assembled for a redress of political grievances. The raid resulted in one arrest.</p> </li> <li><p>The Occupy National Gathering working group strongly condemns this disproportionate law enforcement response - a trend repeatedly played out against the movement across the country - but will continue to urge Occupy protesters to remain nonviolent despite federal and municipal authorities' unwillingness to display restraint in the face of peaceful protesters.</p> </li> <li><p>The Occupy National Gathering working group feels that disproportionate law enforcement response needlessly exacerbates peaceful protesters. We do not want this, and neither do the people who are visiting this city to enjoy their holiday weekend.</p> </li> <li><p>ONG working group has publicly and repeatedly stated that we do not wish to disrupt people's holiday plans. We hope that the Philadelphia police department and the National Park Service share this sentiment as activists continue to arrive in Philadelphia to peacefully exercise their First Amendment right and people from across the country come to enjoy vacations.</p> </li> </ul> </div>  <p class="view-comments"> <a title="View Comments" href="/article/occupy-national-gathering-updates-live-video/#comments"> 11 Comments</a> </p> </article> <h3 id="comments"> <span id="comment-count">11</span> Comments </h3> <div class="postcommentform"> <textarea rows="5" cols="70"></textarea><br /> <button class="save">post comment</button> <img class="loader" src="/media/img/ajax-loader.gif" width="16" height="16" /> <span class="error"></span> <a style="font-size:small" href="http://occupywallst.org/forum/moderating-policies-will-be-reposted-somewhere-pro/">Read the Rules</a> </div> <section id="comment-list"> <div class="item comment" id="comment-776159"> <div class="content "> <div class="info"> <a class="collapse" href="#">[-]</a> <span class="karma">2</span> points by <span><a title="View DKAtoday's profile" class="user" href="/users/DKAtoday/">DKAtoday</a></span> (33802) from Coon Rapids, MN <span class="published">12 years ago</span> </div> <div class="words"> <p>Occupy supporters please share/circulate.</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://occupywallst.org/forum/do-you-want-to-understand-the-ows-occupy-99-moveme/">http://occupywallst.org/forum/do-you-want-to-understand-the-ows-occupy-99-moveme/</a></p> </div> <div class="links"> <a class="up " href="#">↥twinkle</a> <a class="down " href="#">↧stinkle</a> <a class="reply" href="#">reply</a> <a class="permalink" href="/article/occupy-national-gathering-updates-live-video/#comment-776159">permalink</a> </div> </div> <div class="replies"> <div class="item comment" id="comment-776163"> <div class="content "> <p class="deleted"><span>[Removed]</span></p> </div> <div class="replies"> <div class="item comment" id="comment-776178"> <div class="content "> <div class="info"> <a class="collapse" href="#">[-]</a> <span class="karma">1</span> points by <span><a title="View DKAtoday's profile" class="user" href="/users/DKAtoday/">DKAtoday</a></span> (33802) from Coon Rapids, MN <span class="published">12 years ago</span> </div> <div class="words"> <p>Get your own identity: [-] 0 points by DKAtaday (0) from Brooklyn Park, MN 16 minutes ago</p> <hr> <p>[-] 1 points by DKAtaday (0) from Brooklyn Park, MN 16 minutes ago</p> <p>[-] 0 points by DKAtoday (9870) from Coon Rapids, MN 1 minute ago</p> <p>Occupy supporters please share/circulate.</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://occupywallst.org/forum/do-you-want-to-understand-the-ows-occupy-99-moveme/">http://occupywallst.org/forum/do-you-want-to-understand-the-ows-occupy-99-moveme/</a> ↥twinkle ↧stinkle reply permalink ships pass in the night but one is always faster ↥twinkle ↧stinkle reply permalink</p> </div> <div class="links"> <a class="up " href="#">↥twinkle</a> <a class="down " href="#">↧stinkle</a> <a class="reply" href="#">reply</a> <a class="permalink" href="/article/occupy-national-gathering-updates-live-video/#comment-776178">permalink</a> </div> </div> <div class="replies"> <div class="item comment" id="comment-776187"> <div class="content "> <p class="deleted"><span>[Removed]</span></p> </div> <div class="replies"> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="item comment" id="comment-775744"> <div class="content "> <div class="info"> <a class="collapse" href="#">[-]</a> <span class="karma">1</span> points by <span><a title="View Treadlightly's profile" class="user" href="/users/Treadlightly/">Treadlightly</a></span> (2) <span class="published">12 years ago</span> </div> <div class="words"> <p>When more people no longer have the basic essentials just to survive, then will the barricades appear.

I'm guessing it is because the live streamers want to capture the drama, and people recounting the drama, and people recounting people recounting the drama as opposed to the boring coverage of the GAs, workshops, speakers etc. Granted, I haven't been tuned in 24/7 but the last half-dozen times that I have clicked on the stream it was either people at night wandering around talking about the police, or a daytime shot of someone talking about what happened. I understand that the conflict with the police is a significant issue for the people there, but it seems to overshadow what is actually trying to be accomplished.</p> <p>Funny how this independent media is so similar to the corporate media - if it bleeds, it leads.</p> </div> <div class="links"> <a class="up " href="#">↥twinkle</a> <a class="down " href="#">↧stinkle</a> <a class="reply" href="#">reply</a> <a class="permalink" href="/article/occupy-national-gathering-updates-live-video/#comment-775469">permalink</a> </div> </div> <div class="replies"> </div> </div> <div class="item comment" id="comment-775401"> <div class="content "> <div class="info"> <a class="collapse" href="#">[-]</a> <span class="karma">1</span> points by <span><a title="View ElectoralReform's profile" class="user" href="/users/ElectoralReform/">ElectoralReform</a></span> (73) <span class="published">12 years ago</span> </div> <div class="words"> <p>Occupy needs to start thinking about what it'll do for the election.
