Update: 'Occupy' crackdowns coordinated with federal law enforcement officials
Rick Ellis, Minneapolis Top News Examiner
November 15, 2011

Over the past ten days, more than a dozen cities have moved to evict "Occupy" protesters from city parks and other public spaces. As was the case in last night's move in New York City, each of the police actions shares a number of characteristics. And according to one Justice official, each of those actions was coordinated with help from Homeland Security, the FBI and other federal police agencies.

The official, who spoke on background to me late Monday evening, said that while local police agencies had received tactical and planning advice from national agencies, the ultimate decision on how each jurisdiction handles the Occupy protests ultimately rests with local law enforcement.

According to this official, in several recent conference calls and briefings, local police agencies were advised to seek a legal reason to evict residents of tent cities, focusing on zoning laws and existing curfew rules. Agencies were also advised to demonstrate a massive show of police force, including large numbers in riot gear. In particular, the FBI reportedly advised on press relations, with one presentation suggesting that any moves to evict protesters be coordinated for a time when the press was the least likely to be present.

The FBI has so far failed to respond to requests for an official response, and of the 14 local police agencies contacted in the past 24 hours, all have declined to respond to questions on this issue.

But in a recent interview with the BBC," Oakland Mayor Jean Quan mentioned she was on a conference call just before the recent wave of crackdowns began.

"I was recently on a conference call of 18 cities who had the same situation, where what had started as a political movement and a political encampment ended up being an encampment that was no longer in control of the people who started them."

At the time this story was updated, Mayor Quan's office had declined to discuss her comments.

I remember the days when people on forums would scoff at me when I mentioned FEMA camps. The FEMA camps are here and that fact is not up for debate. The only fact up for debate is how soon will they become occupied? The U.S.A. is being stripped and ripped. My prediction? Less than 10 years they may need those camps. Maybe five years, who knows...

Being poor is now a crime obviously.

The second FEMA camps become operational there will be multiple ops underway to raze them to the ground. DHS knows that.

Seattle activist Dorli Rainey, 84, reacts after being hit with pepper spray during an Occupy Seattle protest on Tuesday, November 15, 2011 at Westlake Park. Protesters gathered in the intersection of 5th Avenue and Pine Street after marching from their camp at Seattle Central Community College in support of Occupy Wall Street. Many refused to move from the intersection after being ordered by police. Police then began spraying pepper spray into the gathered crowd hitting dozens of people. A pregnant woman was taken from the melee in an ambulance after being struck with spray. Photo: JOSHUA TRUJILLO / SEATTLEPI.COM

She says, as she posts a picture of an 84 year old woman with slobber pouring forth from her mouth. Sorry, but its really hard for me to take you seriously on this point. You think they won't throw that old slobbering lady in a FEMA camp when the jails get too crowded? Think again. They damn near killed her with pepper spray. What makes you think they won't throw her behind barbed wire when the jails too full?

I made a damn good living being ahead of the curve. Trust me, you're behind it, and still looking backwards.

Bruce, beautiful photos!

Were you able to stay for the re-occupation? It sounded so uplifting.

.....................
Meanwhile, I would have participated in a solidarity march in Seattle except there was no public notification of the event, that I could tell. You had to be an insider! I am beyond disappoint. I am considering forming an alternate occupy Seattle, or AOS.

Eyeno, I don't give a crap what you think, because including your direct response to me here, it's obvious you have no idea what you're talking about. That is the case about 95% of the time. It's just that you do such a good job of shitting poison pills onto RI, I feel the need to interrupt the pattern occasionally.

Anyway, back to topic, which was, fema camps, oh wait, no, it was OWS.

Of course you are correct. Very silly of me to assume that the people who are dropping phosphorous bombs on half the middle east would lock up a lot of protestors. They burn the skin off entire neighborhoods of children on a daily basis but they would never lock up a bunch of poverty stricken protestors. (eye roll)
