Violence by Occupy Wall Street protesters has spread to demonstrations across the nation, with thousands of rioters arrested and dozens of police officers injured. Ed Mullins, president of the Sergeants Benevolent Association, explained New Yorks police officers are working around the clock as the already overburdened economy in New York is being drained by occupiers who intentionally and maliciously instigate needless and violent confrontations with the police. More than twenty New York city police officers have been injured by the protesters.
Here is a photo of Felix Rivera-Pitre, an HIV-positive protester, assaulting a New York city police officer:
AnkaKarewicz posted this photo from Occupy Oakland, showing that the event organizers were training the protesters how to assault peace officers:

The protesters at Occupy Phoenix have been distributing a leaflet titled When Should You Shoot a Cop which advocates the murder of law enforcement officers.
Protesters at Occupy Boston assaulted a young female member of Americas Coast Guard by spitting at her and throwing a bottle at her.
The Boston police are investigating threats made to their officers by Occupy Boston organizers, protesters, and sympathizers.
A protesters at Occupy Wall Street was arrested by police after he threatened to stab reporter John Huddy. The protester, Dustin Taylor, of Millerburg Ohio, was charged with grand larceny, menacing, criminal possession of a weapon, and harassment.
New York police also arrested a man for making death threats against a woman, because she reported an assault to the NYPD. The protester, Hasan Castillo, of East Orange New Jersey was arrested, but police as still searching for two accomplices. They men apparently told the woman You had our friend arrested were going to kill you. Watch your back.
This speaker at Occupy LA explains that non-violence will not work and that violence is necessary to achieve the Occupiers goals:

It isnt only that the protesters are engaging in violence, or that the organizers are encouraging violence. To make matters worse, the organizers are discouraging event participants from reporting violence and other crimes to the police as part of their media management strategy. Victims of violence, including sexual assault, are being pressured to let these crimes go unreported so as to prevent media coverage of these incidents. One police officer described the grim situation in Zuccotti Park, There is a lot of infighting in the park. There is one part of the park where they wont even go at night.
These people are doing their level-best to get dry tinder all in one place so they can create a spark and set the place on fire. Really transparent.
That's it exactly.
I think you nailed it there. I drove by an occupy site last weekend and the 3 (yes, three) people left there looked so pathetic I didn't even bother flipping them off. Two were standing around dejectedly holding signs and one young lady was twirling/dancing to music only she could hear...
OWS = Out of Work Socialists
Wow, man, they MUST be Tasing the living crap out of these people...
The police overtime spent to baby sit these miscreants is again using an alynski tactic of overburdening and overwhelming the system. The professionals are in place and only need the ok from their puppet masters to light the fires
They said on Fox TV that their goal is to overwhelm the court system.
Is Soros trying to herd all those sheep in time for the election?!!!
Compare them to the well-mannered Tea Party folks, who have paid for insurance and permits... and leave the places clean.
Even the mayor in Binghamton, NY is letting them squat because he agrees with them. AUGHHH!!!
You are going to need a hazmat suite to go with that
