Bloomberg Demonstrates His Mayorly Manliness

Not to be outdone by the lesser mayors, Multibillionaire Michael Bloomberg sent the NYPD storm troopers to Zuccotti Park in the wee hours to clear out the Occupy camp in a surprise raid.  About 100 people were arrested.  Read the Times, and then read the comments.  This is not over. More later......


Update: For better coverage, read the hometown paper for constant updates/liveblog. Beware of  the right-wing opinion bilge starting to bubble up. Or just laugh at it.

Here is The Gothamist's excellent reporting, including a story of how the NYPD suppressed coverage and harrassed journalists.

 And great coverage, as usual, from DemocracyNow!

And even more (thanks DreamsAmelia for sending the links):
