This was all over three symbolic tents. Later in the night after Occupy Denver left the park as the police had asked, they stalked us with the S.W.A.T. team all over Denver trying to corner us in alleyways from 5:00 PM onward.

"I want to get that fucker".... Why? What I don't understand is why the OWS movement doesn't form a coalition with the police. Why don't they take the time to put together statistics that show the average policeman's wage in contrast with the "1%" or look at other ways that these hard-working men and women are under compensated and under appreciated?!
Does officer Ramirez's comment suck? Yes. Is it indicative of all cops? No. Bring them in to the fold. They are the 99% too. Good luck in Denver.

I agree with you that they should be with us, but many times I tried to speak to them rationally about the situation and got a baton to the back instead.
This link below summarizes some other occupier's experiences last night.

Just remember that a huge segment of the population is backing you guys. If not for your political/social persuasions for the fact that you are properly exercising your first amendment rights. Keep doing so responsibly and you will not lose the favor of the populace.
Keep up the work!
