glad to see crime was put on hold for a few hours for the cops to make it out there all day

@anythingfunnyful actually crime doubled because the police waste their time on us. nice try piggies.

too much money spent on too many police & riot gear instead of education.

[joonipuur]

They've militarized the police. Any rational person would have to ask themselves, "Why would they need that many police & riot police for a peaceful student protest?" I've been noticing a trend within the Occupy movement. It seems like these University/Student protests get cracked down on harder than any other group of protesters out there (at least within the US).

@joonipuur Students are dangerous because they question authority

[nisenuthead]

@joonipuur Probably because, unlike other protests fighting for peace or equality, it has to do with money. Sad. :[
