Gray wants Occupy protesters removed from McPherson Square - District of DeBonis - The Washington Post
McPherson Square protesters have hunkered down for the cold weather. (Bill O'Leary - WASHINGTON POST) UPDATED 8:35 P.M. Mayor Vincent C. Gray called on the National Park Service today to remove protesters from McPherson Square to “allow for elimination of the rat infestation, clean up, and restoration” of the downtown park. In a letter to Park Service Director Jonathan B. Jarvis , Gray suggests moving the McPherson protesters, who have camped in the park since October, to a separate encampment at Freedom Plaza.NEW YORK, Jan 11 (Reuters) - After mass arrests in Union Square on Sept. 24 and on the Brooklyn Bridge on Oct. 1, many Occupy Wall Street protesters said they would take their cases to trial , vowing to stretch the resources of the Manhattan district attorney's office and the court system to the breaking point. And while several hundred protesters appear to be keeping that promise, it now seems likely that many of their cases will be consolidated into single trials, said Martin Stolar of the National Lawyers Guild, which is representing the bulk of the protesters. For a group of protesters intent on spreading their anti-corporate message -- and drawing attention to what they say were illegitimate arrests -- the prospect of larger, multi-defendant trials is a double-edged sword.

The Occupation movement that is spreading across the country has a number of purposes, plays a number of different roles, in the struggle for justice and a better life in our world. A confrontation function, taking the struggle to the enemy’s territory, confronting, potentially disrupting, the operations at the center of the problem. It has the potential to disrupt Wall Street, by occupying space Wall Street needs to function; symbolically, hyperbolically, it waves a pointed knife over the heart of the economic beast. But it must be admitted that there is little push to actualize the potential; only in Oakland, thus far, has there been significant interference with the normal conduct of mainstream business. When neighbors complain about the noise and unpleasantness of Liberty Park’s occupiers in New York City, it is in their capacities as residents, not as business people, that they complain (see#Occupy_Guns
Occupy Tampa supporters angry about protester’s prolonged detention | Florida Independent
Occupy Tampa supporters are up in arms over the possible months-long detention of protester Timothy Sommers, arrested alongside 28 others at a Dec. 2 demonstration in Riverfront Park for trespassing and “obstructing or opposing an officer without violence.” While Sommers was originally released the morning after his arrest, a judge yesterday revoked his bond and today ruled that he remain behind bars till his March 2012 trial. According to Mark Cox, a spokesman for the state attorney’s office handing the case, Sommers’ bond was revoked because he had been charged with — but not arrested for — trespassing on Nov. 6. “He reoffended,” Cox says, “and the judge revoked his bond from the December incident and is going to hold him without bond.” According to Cox, the decision is “not unusual.”Congressman On Hunger Strike

Occupy Wall Street protesters regroup after tent cities are cleared
Occupy Wall Street protesters around the country are regrouping after several cities evicted them from parks where the movement had set up tents. As AP reported: For more than two months, they were open-air communes where people came to rebuild society and start a nationwide discussion on how to close the wide gap between the rich and the poor.

The violent police assaults across the US are no coincidence. Occupy has touched the third rail of our political class's venality US citizens of all political persuasions are still reeling from images of unparallelled police brutality in a coordinated crackdown against peaceful OWS protesters in cities across the nation this past week. An elderly woman was pepper-sprayed in the face; the scene of unresisting, supine students at UC Davis being pepper-sprayed by phalanxes of riot police went viral online; images proliferated of young women – targeted seemingly for their gender – screaming, dragged by the hair by police in riot gear; and the pictures of a young man, stunned and bleeding profusely from the head, emerged in the record of the middle-of-the-night clearing of Zuccotti Park.
