Forum Post: Bloomberg's order to remove OWS' generators was simply a pretext to make life more difficult for the protesters at Zucotti Park

As a retired professional Firefighter (disabled) I can say that generators when used properly are safer than most any other type of alternative means of temporary power sources. Every community in America has Fire Departments that teach emergency preparedness. At the core of those teachings is the proper use of generators in the event of loss of power during natural disasters. What Bloomberg did was simply unfair, unreasonable and a tactic that is no more than a lie hidden under the disguise of "Public Safety." The generators should be returned post-haste if Bloomberg has any integrity at all, and no further action taken against their use in open air spaces by OWS.
