Remember that time Occupy was examined by The Government & No One Gave A Shit?

6. These were demonstrations by not wealthy people, so not popular now.

So any violations of human rights, wasn't a violation of human rights, just maintaining control over an unruly element of society: apparently this was the attitude of a large portion of the media. I base that opinion on growing up during the civil rights movement and the efforts to end the war in Viet Nam. The behavior of the protesters was far more...lively, yet with the media supporting them the movements escalated and gained far more grassroot type support.
I didn't really see that during the Occupy movements. The media spouted a lot of hype about themselves, but seemed to lack any real conviction.

Now, when they find themselves treated as they watched others treated, they complain and demand action........why not, you obviously need help, in many different ways.
