What could possible be so worrisome about a bunch of squatters to warrant this large of a response? If 57 arrests were made then you're looking at more than an officer per arrest, and probably an officer per person. I know it's great to use unnecessary force to try and scare/warn possible other protests, but jeez. Let's just go about killing the homeless and the squatters for the convenience of the political and rich while we're at it.
