The mayor ordered that the electricity to the public park be cut off because of complaining "taxpayers" against the protest. #OccupyTulsa

[Earth_First]

Military manuals tell you that you need a 10 to 1 numerical superiority for an insurgency so they were fifteen short.

[annabanana]

24. Reports of face-on pepper spray at close range.

despicable

[newfie11]

25. cowardly bastards

armed cops beating and pepper spraying nonviolent protestors SITTING on the ground. GEE AMERICA have we sunk that low???

[madokie]

26. I give props to channel 6 (cbs)

they actually gave a good report on what happened. The report was done in a very professional way by a beautiful young lady, Jamie McGrief. I don't mean just in looks when I say beautiful I mean that but also in the beautiful heart this young lady has beating in her chest.

Channel 6 news crew I salute you
Nadinbrzezinski I also salute you for staying on top of OWS for us here at the DU and bringing us a very unbiased opinion on this very important movement.

Peace to you
May goodness always be by your side :hi:

[nadinbrzezinski]

29. Thanks, I was truly hoping for a quiet night

[madokie]

33. Were you there?

were you the lady that channel 6 interviewed?

[rbixby]

27. I'm glad all of this is getting coverage, its unfortunate

but its definitely adding credence to the movement.

This is an interesting article about it, definitely slanted against the protesters. There's one quote that sticks in my head in there too...

"No one resisted anybody. They were non-compliant," said Nick Cox, who said he has been protesting since Saturday. "They just thought their constitutional right to free assembly overruled local city rules."

http://www.tulsaworld.com/news/article.aspx?subjectid=298&articleid=20111102_298_0_Tulsap195784

It brings up an interesting point....federal law does trump state and local laws, doesn't it? Is this a legal question that's been decided on by federal courts before?

[Fire Walk With Me]

28. That's why Kochs etc. want smaller government, so local law can trump small govt's.

[coalition_unwilling]

32. Some of the comments from OK Rwingers are truly nauseating. - n/t

[nadinbrzezinski]

30. From one of the occupiers...

#occupyokc As spoken by An Occupant @ #occupytulsa #occupywallstreet When I hear people saying that these people need to get a job, or get a clue, it reminds me of the footage of the civil rights movement when people would say "those ni**ers just need to stay in their place." I was there(occupy Tulsa), and I have a job, as do most of the people there. If you can't see the political and economic inequality in this country then I can't help you. But I think it's pretty telling, when Bank of America tower is looming over these protests, and over a hundred police show up to attest peaceful people on city ordince charge, but they can' lift one finger to investigate the massive fraud that destroyed a quarter of our countries wealthy that took 200 years to accumulate. And they did it practically over night, and the are sitting there laughing at you, and Your stack of bills, and your astronomical health insurance costs, and they don't give a crap about you and this country, and they still continue to rob all of blind. The game is rigged, your voice doesn't matter unless you are rich. The veterans in our camp, they are they same people that You had that yellow ribbon on your car for. Now they are Here, trying to tell you that the biggest enemy isn't in Iraq, they are on Wall St, and in the halls of congress, and you laugh, and mock them, and call them a loser. What a shame.
