Police enforce the city parks curfew and shut down Tulsa's "Occupy Wall Street" protest.

Just before 2:00am Wednesday morning, nine protesters were arrested. They refused to leave the Chapman Green in downtown.

Police used pepper spray on some and carried others to waiting cruisers.

Approximately 30 other protestors looked on and shouted from the sidewalks.

From Facebook Page:

Occupy Tulsa
Tonight nine protesters were pepper sprayed at less than two inches from the face in the position we were told to be in if we didnt want to be pepper sprayed. Tulsa police has lied. They sent 75 police officers to arrest 9 people and take down our tents.

2. Well, the 99%ers are 'anti-cop' so...I wonder what they did to 'provoke' this?
Heard it on Morning Joke, about a week ago. The police 'abuse' is really just agent provocateurs OF OWS forcing the helpless police to beat them silly. It's OWS' fault. Why, what's a poor police officer to do? These un-Americans are rolling joints with Che rolling papers! Jesus Christ! Che rolling paperz!!! I can't make that up!

Well...
These 99%ers certainly 'cannot win if they are anti-cop'...yup yup yup.
