This is a ridiculously blatant piece of propaganda. If you only read the headline, you get the impression that some of the occupiers must've done something wrong. The NY Post is betting that that is all you will do. The body of the article states that the protesters in NYC have not done anything violent towards the NYPD. The only arrests have been made for blocking traffic & illegal demonstrations. The only reported police injuries seem to have been minor bruises & a few who were accidentally pepper sprayed by a sergeant.
In addition, the "violence" that is mentioned towards Oakland police was in the form of water bottles and paint after, according to an eyewitness, a few protesters had been fed up with being hit in the gut with truncheons while trying to get back to their occupation site.
These statements by Ed Mullins equate to threatening to arrest for
thoughtcrime - as in the George Orwell novel
1984.
