So, it’s heartening to note that after the arrest of occupiers, the crowd outside has swelled.
The news has shown *not one single* incidence of violence against persons by the protesters. The only violence against property reported is their attempt to push aside the crowd control barriers.
Meanwhile, the cops are shown pepper spraying and clubbing with batons. One student (with the mark to show for it) reports being shot with a rubber bullet. Passing news footage on TV just now showed a cop armed (and ready to use) what was either a tear gas or bean bag gun.
The coming days will tell but I think the Cal administration and UCPD have just dealt themselves some pretty bad cards.

Ms. O’Malley screwed up the URL by punctuating it as if it were an english word. Damn writers. This version of the URL should be clickable:

(Ms. O’Malley: always leave whitespace around URLs in blog comments. The period at the end of your sentence confuses the software.)
