I saw this on Countdown last night. Un-freakin'-believable. I am also dumbstruck that a NY City Councilman was beaten and arrested for simply going there to observe the raid. Annnnd, he was denied access to a lawyer for 17 hours!! he held a press conference about it yesterday, and Mayor Bloomberg hasn't said jack shit about it. Can you say police state?!?!?!?

Apparently they have let people out of the park now. Not sure what was going on.

I don't know if this article has been shared or not since it's dated from October, but I had just come across it from a friend and wanted to share it as well:

No surprises.
