NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly had some strong words for “Occupy Wall Street” protesters Thursday, blaming participants for starting skirmishes which led to more than 20 arrests on Wednesday.
“What they did is they counted. They actually had a countdown — 10, 9, 8, 7, 6 — they grouped together, they joined arms and they charged the police. They attacked the police. They wanted to get into Wall Street, they wanted to occupy Wall Street,” Kelly told reporters.
Police arrested 28 people Wednesday — mostly for disorderly conduct. There was at least one arrest for assaulting a police officer and police said one protester even knocked an officer off his scooter.
Kelly said that if demonstrators targeted the police, authorities would respond with “force.”
“They’re going to be met with force when they do that — this is just common sense,” he said.
The commissioner said protesters were told to stay within the barricades that police had erected and when they crossed over them they began hassling the cops.
“These people wanted to have confrontation with the police for whatever reason. Somehow, I guess it works to their purposes,” Kelly said.

But Brookfield Office Properties, which owns Zuccotti Park, seems to be slowly building a case against protesters, saying Thursday that the protestors are interfering with the use of the park by others and are creating sanitary problems.
“Sanitation is a growing concern,” Brookfield said in a statement. “Normally the park is cleaned and inspected every weeknight. . . because the protestors refuse to cooperate. . .the park has not been cleaned since Friday, September 16th and as a result, sanitary conditions have reached unacceptable levels.”

Two this the Tea Party never did. Tea Parties respect the Police and caused no problems and didn't trash the place.
So the hippies aren’t peaceful and are purposely getting into conflicts with police for sympathy from the MSM. In addition they are leaving the place a mess, and refusing to let the owners clean it up.

The msm infuriates me and for their crimes they must pay. First step is obama out. Turn the senate red.
There’s no question in my mind NYPD is knowledgeable of the OWS executive structure. And no doubt it’s pissed knowing the game that’s being played on its turf.
This encampment may not have a name yet so I’ll make one: “Camp Stupid.”
The people there are founding activists of the “P Party,” democrats’ abysmally moronic answer to the Tea Party.
More to the point: Tea Party members pick up their trash. Occupy Wall Street participants are the trash.
A terrorist could make hay with the mess going on down there, eh? I wish those ninnies would just go home, I hope they don’t resort to being destructive.
“Ain’t it cute? Our little girl was conceived while we were Occupying Wall Street.”
“Yes, honey. We got to the abortionist just in time, another week and she’d have been born... *shudder*”
Why would any terrorist, sane or insane, want to make carnage of lefties who hate the same thing that the felled towers stood for?
They don’t have “executive” structure, they are organized it was just a random protest against Wall st. /sarc
Anyway, despite the front they are putting up of the working groups, having meetings, creating minutes and coming up with decisions as a group is BS. I want to know what is going on behind the scenes.
They’re looking for a Horst Wessel.
John Lennon would be so proud. Could I please hear a rousing chorus of, “Give Peace a Chance”. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.
Attention? Cause fear?
Dear NYPD,
Please bust some hippie heads open and beat some sense into them.
Thanks.

Stinky commies should take a shower before complaining that they can’t find a job.
You can chase the protesters away by tossing job applications at them.

Great! Even more litter on the streets!
My father was NYPD and now so is my son. There is no better police force in the world for crowd control. Cops come from all over the world to learn NYPD technique. The mob will lose.
