You realize they tried to deploy it the night the raided the camp, but they faced it the wrong way, and hit their own officers, then couldn't get it turned off? You gotta watch the non-MSM media for the good tidbits  Personally, I would destroy the incessantly-beating drums. Violently and with feeling. AP apparently called Cardus, estimate of 2,000 people in Foley Park: doctors, Verizon workers, unions have joined up with the protesters. NYPD just closed air space to NBC and CBS helicopters who were filming protest. This could be getting good, because from here they are supposed to march to bridge.

I'm just amazed that people think this is actually accomplishing something other than costing the city millions, aggravating people who live near the protests and tying up traffic? In the end nothing changes by doing this and interupting city council meetings and blocking bridges.

Pick one Yeah, you wouldn't think this amount of people walking around is that big a deal. I mean, Thanksgiving Day Parade? Quote:
Huge, huge amounts of people down there, mounted officers arriving. I'll bet there is no way they let them leave to go towards a bridge. Way too many people.

Hard to believe that you continously complain about the news outlets then say what the news is talking about is a sign of progress? I mean if they arent covering it how can there be so much progress being made? Income inequality isn't something that can be protested away. The thing is that most of what these people are protesting cant be changed through protesting. This isnt the civil right movement where things were black and white (pun again).

The Economist magazine which classified RussiaToday's reporting as "weirdly constructed propaganda" has suggested that the channel has provided a platform to conspiracy theorists. Julia Ioffe claims that Russia Today is a Kremlin propaganda outlet featuring "fringe-dwelling experts" and "was just a way to stick it to the U.S. from behind the façade of legitimate newsgathering." An article published in The New Republic by James Kirchick characterized the news reportage of Russia Today as, "virulent anti-Americanism, worshipful portrayal of Russian leaders, and comical production values," that "can't help but revive the pettiness that was a distinctive feature of Soviet-era propaganda."[25] An article by Accuracy in Media criticized RT as a "propaganda network funded by the Moscow regime of Vladimir Putin" and charged that it "regularly features Marxist and radical commentators. The article also cites the description of the network by former KGB officer Konstantin Preobrazhensky as “a part of the Russian industry of misinformation and manipulation” designed to mislead foreign audiences about Russian intentions."Furthermore, Preobrazhensky argues that Russia Today utilizes methods of propaganda that are "managed by Directorate 'A' of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service...with the specialty of Directorate ‘A’ is deceiving world public opinion and manipulating it. It has got a lot of experience over decades of the Cold War."

Of course you are forgetting that Russia Today and Al Jazzera may have a captive anti-American audience to sell this to. Outside of the potential for some gratitous police violence I dont think most of America over 25 really care that much anymore. Like I said the cause may be just but the methods are becoming less and less justifiable.
