to me this says one thing: wall street definitely feels threatened.
I don't feel the NYPD would do this on their own.
I also feel that it won't be long before we hear about fbi, cia, or local police posing as protesters in effort to cause dissent. I really wish we could be the protesters "big brothers" so to speak and let them know what MIGHT happen. They aren't all ATS members ya know.
I didn't think of that. Yeah, they will do that, they are notorious for starting riots that way. They've actually been caught doing that.

Seems one's point of views on this is dictated by their political leanings. Those on the right seem to think everything these people do is inappropriate regardless of what facts there are. Those on the left will support them regardless of what the facts are.
A few more days should tell us what this truly is. Is it the American Spring? Only time will tell and no amount of crying on this website will stop it if it's true.

Perhaps they saw that it was getting out of control and this was a preemptive action to send a message. They know what will happen as the Anarchists and the Soros nuts numbers grow. Eventually they will start smashing windows and looting.
Still though, blocking a major bridge is pretty dumb.

So they should be allowed to loot, burn buildings down, attack anyone etc. all because they are protesting....
With supporters like you no wonder the protestors are not taken seriously!

If we had any sort of luck, the NYPD would have led these people to the bridge then tossed them off. Such a disgusting display of atrocious morons.

Check your facts... that 4.6 million was donated to the NYPD in 2010, not this past Saturday.

Yea, it was pretty dumb of the protesters in the Middle East blocking roads as well, even though it was to have their dictators held to account.
No difference here, the protesters should be able to do as they please regardless of the laws, because it is the corrupt banksters and politicans that need to be held to account.

So what you're saying is that protest is effectively illegal?
No, the protest itself is not illegal. You're free to protest on whatever topic you like, on sidewalks, in a park, wherever you're not disrupting the normal flow of things. Occupying a street made for motor vehicles and impeding traffic is illegal.
