@JeffSharlet It's no mystery why police bust up occupations at midnight, as they're about to at @occupySF. But it's not the sign of a confident gov't.

"Tents are gone, tarps are gone."

"Camp looks a third of what it was..."

4. Woman talking now saying it's the second time they've raided.
They had a huge demonstration yesterday. Seems like these raids are happening every night now.

7. Thanks for posting this
I hope the person who was unconscious is OK. And just yesterday some of us were praising the SF cops. It's truly heartbreaking when thugs are ordered to hurt people who are protesting peacefully. It's nothing less than police state tactics.

Occupy SF should find out who gives these orders and expose them.

9. Its important to keep this in mind
Here in Portland the police have been uncharacteristically kind and cooperative. The organizers have been good to remind people that that can change in an instant.

11. If anyone had any concerns about whether OWS is working -
here is your proof that the 1%ers are pissed off - there's no reason for this continued police brutality of peaceful protestors.

13. Damn! I was just there yesterday afternoon -
dropping some food off -- there were a whole bunch of cop cars there and I was worried they were raiding at that time, but things were stable. I know the plan was to move the kitchen to Justin Herman Plaza (where the GAs have been taking place) and to keep a permant protest contigency at the Fed. Will head down after work to offer support.

Midnight -- fuck that shit and fuck Mayor Ed Lee for allowing this. :mad:
