The live feed just happens to switch to some other location right when people were supposedly being tear gassed and arrested. This looks bogus.
The live feed is from Broadway and Pine. The cops made the media reporter move outside of Zuccotti, they were taking press passes of reporters who would not leave when they were clearing the park. There are people still near the park, there is also a General Assembly at Foley Square. Michael Moore reportedly called for people to regroup at Foley Square. Coverage continuing from Foley Square, which is near City Hall.

So Michael Moore must be a huge cash cow and organizer.
The thing is, when he was here recently, he told the General Assembly [now I am referring to the prior assembly] that ows needed to kick in the doors of the stock exchange. This has been a bad night for the movement, people are upset all their things have been taken away. Today would not be a good day to go and shut down Broadway as a couple of people advocated. People need to act rather than react.
I can hear the activity on my scanner feed which beats any video that typically misses the action. Go online and look for free scanner feeds or free scanner radio online New York , note: NYPD Manhattan Precincts 1-23 and Citywide 1-3. If you have an iPod you can find a free app for a multi-scanner from 'smartestapple'

Thanks. I wish the feed would return. Who's the genius who decided to switch locations to the side of a building?
I dunno, the cops are running kind of bonkers and are kind of dangerous. Maybe the guy didn't want to get his head bashed in?

No man. The feed switched over before any cops started moving in. It was bullshit inaudible chants of nonsense, then blip, the scene switches over to some geek on a telephone, the side of a wall, some fire trucks - all to the sound of an annoying drumming group. Then you hear people talking about all this hard core "brutality" that was taking place.
LMAO, like they were shooting people one by one. Like some kind of oppressive regime had taken over the human race, the rest of the population was secretly injected with a serum causing complete compliance with the dictatorship - only the OWS had avoided the injection. These people are way too dramatic to ever lead society.
No it did not switch over, the cops began moving in at 1:19 am and that was streaming live. It stayed live throughout them putting the tables etc. into dumpsters and compacters. The occupiers watched and reported as it was happening. There were arrests also happening live.
i saw all the tents being thrown away.. Never did we see the actual confrontation.
They didn't lead society. They were only a small part of something much bigger.
Us.
To deny this is a liberal movement at this point is absurd. You do not have the support of the conservatives or libertarians. Conservatives alone outnumber the left 2 to 1. We are bigger than all of you.
Maybe in Oklahoma. Or did conservatives elect Obama?
It's pretty pathetic. You think you can change the World and you don't even understand the demographic of the United States.

You are incorrect. Conservatism and liberalism are neural statuses, having to do with preference for retracing existing neural pathways vs staking out new ground. It's why conservatives like normalcy while liberals prefer uncertainty. In every population they are split 50/50, however 50% of either group is also centrist. Only 25% of either side is "far" left or right (this was demonstrated in GWB's poll numbers, where he never fell below 25%. He lost the entire center, leaving him with only his kindred social conservative segment as a base).
However, the extremes of the extremes are even smaller, and half the left has the ability to invoke a deep sense of self-assuredness and empowerment, that terrifies the extreme right. It's like a deer in headlights, seen it many times. You fight us, we win. That's the way it works. Unless you have bigger guns (a la Gadhafi), but military representation is pretty much even between both sides, and right now Obama would strike you in a pinch anyway.
Well I haven't tried to put police brutality on camera so I can't criticize the guy. I imagine he's trying to show the world what is happening downtown Manhattan right now. It isn't pretty.
We won't know until the video appears on youtube. I will say this, only 20,000 people watched part of it. When the video hits the net and the film hits the media, the whole world will be laughing. Especially countries that experience real mass poverty.
It's not ordinary TV hours for most people. Yes the whole world is going to see this.
They will find it very entertaining as they shake their heads and say "stupid Americans.: The people involved make us look ridiculous to the World. You have fooled yourself into believing lies about America, and created a false impression of what the World thinks of this train wreck.
You are so wrong. People around the world laugh at our status quo and support the protestors.
Wouldn't it be more effective to gain the support of the American public first?
People in America have been brainwashed by the media, TV, etc for so long that it takes time to awaken people to the truth. People from other countries that support this movement are not brainwashed by American culture, only by their own country by which they live in.
OWS members do not know anything more than most educated Americans know.
Damnit Rex, you are so fucking stupid that it is not even funny..
OK genius, explain how I am missing it and the whole World is unified behind you.
People would love to support it! If they knew what they were supporting. If you engaged the people with things like Move Your Money, you could win over the people. Camping out is not impressing them. And so far I see nothing coming out of GA's. I want to like you OWS, I really do but you seem deliberately ineffective. Why is that?
enough, Rex.
Who the hell are you to tell Rex "enough"? Suddenly against his right to free speech?
As far as I care Rex can talk all he wants to. I was telling him that I'm not replying to him any more. Taht's my right. No?
Every place you look there is a conspiracy afoot!

So Rex is really the Church Lady. We all suspected as much. Could it be SATAN?
Yea..we enjoy watching the good stuff. Hippies, shrieking like little bitches,,,getting arrested.
