(57,936 posts)a few of us oldsters from the 'hood went to be present hoping that our presence would warn anyone contemplating any violence that we would not accept that. Of course, we were not the OWS types. We did not look OWS at all. One young man who looked like a police officer in civil clothes kept staring at me as if he was shocked. I think he recognized me from somewhere, and I suspect I know where. It is a place where the police and very respectable people often meet and where the very respectable people are rather in a position higher than the police. I am pleased to think he might have had a little more respect for OWS after that. He was definitely crashing the party to take names. I and my friends there to show support. I felt it was pretty clear that surveillance was in progress.
