As promised, the Occupy movement is using violence to get attention. Baiting the police to use tear gas and baton charges is a tried and tested method of making it to the news headlines. Expect more as the weather gets warmer as ratcheting up the stakes is the only way the media is going to be willing to cover them in an election year. They will of course claim to be peaceful or that the violence was perpetrated by some radical fringe, but we know better.
What proof do you have that the violence was not perpetrated by some radical fringe or even hired? You can claim the occupy movement is all about violence all you want but that is simply not the case. Also most of the main-stream media just feeds everyone lies, it seems to me the police have gotten pretty violent themselves even in un-provoked cases so don't give me...'they deserve to get pepper sprayed and beat down by they police because they started it, that's bs...besides on the news they don't usually show the full story so you don't know if the cops perpetrated the violence or if someone in the protest did. I guess the only real way is to go down to one of the protests and see for yourself. But that's all up to you I'm not going to try and convince you what to think.
