(62,325 posts)70. The MSM could not tolerate the 'no leader' concept. One of the reasons why
OWS chose to take that route was because they knew that those who would be waiting to crack down on the movement, would take out any leader first. That would be the strategy with the idea that once the leaders are gone, the movement would be over.

One Police Chief had the audacity to join the protesters to say that 'Black Lives Matter'. The reaction to him has been fierce for his fellow cops, but so far, he has held firm.
Hopefully that will give courage to others who may feel the same way, but are afraid to say so.
