U.S. Park Police say an officer has been struck with a brick in the face as officers in riot gear and on horseback cleared protesters from one of the last remaining Occupy sites.

U.S. Park Police in bio hazard suits bag evidence removed from Occupy DC demonstrators' tents as they enforce a no camping law at McPherson Square, a federal park near the White House.

And go ahead and send your posse over like last time.

What posse over where which time?

Come on, spit it out. Nobody is going to hit you.

[I see my hands]

Unlike the maladjusted here he is humble. More virtuous, so to speak.

I’m curious - is a Police Horse considered a pedestrian or an Emergency Vehicle ?

[Squantos]

You have a posse ? I thought you were a ..... Oh never mind.

If I'm wrong in this case, then no harm was done. I just asked.

Yes. We all know that poor manners and public rudeness are harmless.

[humblegunner]

Yeah.

Hey humbleguuner, is that just a nickname or is it a title? Or, are you due some extra degree of respect for being so, uh, humble?

[Qwackertoo]

he attacked me in a post earlier this week. I don’t know what his problem is but I just ignored him. I never post anything controversial.

Go Newt!

Where do these people go after they are thrown out of their tent cities? Hard time figuring out just who they are.

[Venturer]

There is no camping in DC’s parks. This mess should have been stopped in it’s infancy. The first turd who showed up with a tent should have been moved along that night.

It would have never been a prob;lem if they had just enforced the law from the beginning.

I was about to jump all over humblegunner for his comment but looks like he has been suspended.

Good, it's about time. He is noting but a troublemaker

Back to their dorms?

[AGreatPer]

I remember a lady named Concepione that camped in front of the WH on PA avenue protesting nuclear war. She was there for years. They never bothered her. Wonder why?

In fact, she would watch our signs when Freepers went for a break during our protesting the Clinton years.

I seem to remember an ‘implication’ of yours we discussed about things Palin may do for money in a pissant sort of way...That count?

[SilvieWaldorfMD]

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As Larry The Cable Guy might say: “That’s funny right there!”

[SilvieWaldorfMD]

So are you from Maryland or are you bragging about a job title? What’s with the MD? Are you due some extra degree of respect or what?

You asked me this about a year ago.

So, aside from being a 'blowhard', now you're also a 'senile blowhard'?

[Farmer Dean]

Back to their parent’s basement?

[vladimir998]

What’s it to you?

[SilvieWaldorfMD]

These people told our local NBC affiliate that they will NEVER leave MacPherson Square. They said that they’ll return. This is by no means “over”.

In DC, not even the homeless can stay in the parks overnight.

This specific park is right in front of the US Dept. of Veterans Affairs, and a friend of mine who works there says that the filth, bad odor, feces & garbage can be smelled for blocks. Disgusting!
