Owners of Zuccotti Park Cave in On Eviction Demands - Polidicks

[QUOTE] It appears that a potential crisis at Zuccotti Park, home of the Occupy Wall Street protests, has averted. Brookfield Properties, which owns the park, has withdrawn its request for the NYPD to clean it up according to multiple media reports (ABC 7, CNN) and a statement that's been posted online.. Protesters had been girding for an incursion from police, promising to block the park, even at the risk of getting arrested. It's been jam-packed all morning, as Union Officials have shown up. The announcement form the Deputy Mayor's office... 1.FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 2. 3.October 14, 2011 4.[url]www.nyc.gov[/url] 5. 6.STATEMENT OF DEPUTY MAYOR CAS HOLLOWAY ON BROOKFIELD PROPERTIES POSTPONING THEIR CLEANING OF ZUCCOTTI PARK 7. 8.“Late last night, we received notice from the owners of Zuccotti Park – Brookfield Properties – that they are postponing their scheduled cleaning of the park, and for the time being withdrawing their request from earlier in the week for police assistance during their cleaning operation. Our position has been consistent throughout: the City’s role is to protect public health and safety, to enforce the law, and guarantee the rights of all New Yorkers. Brookfield believes they can work out an arrangement with the protesters that will ensure the park remains clean, safe, available for public use and that the situation is respectful of residents and businesses downtown, and we will continue to monitor the situation.” Original post: Stay tuned, as the final hours of the current incarnation of Occupy Wall Street could be coming near. The NYPD has ordered a cleanup of the park starting around 6:00 AM. More significantly, police have said that after the cleaning sleeping bags and other equipment won't be allowed back in. It was an extremely rainy night in NYC, and, it can't have been pleasant at the park, especially with the uncertainty of today's events hanging over everyone. We'll be covering live. UPDATE 5:53: On our own walk to work today, we saw lots more police than usual in the financial district. According to RT's Lucy Kafanov, protesters are being told to come off the sidewalk, enter the square, and pack more closely together, so as to make arrests more difficult. Many tweeters say the park is as packed as ever, in part because unions have showed up. According to Matt Stoller of the Roosevent institute, the UAW is there.

FUCK YEAH! That is all.

damn straight

I understand that this is a great excuse to drive the protesters out of the park, but that park is going to get really, [I]really[/i] disgusting if large efforts aren't made to keep it clean during all this.

I clicked a button that sent a letter to them in my name about this I helped

I knew it was a bluff.

It's a good thing they stood up to them.

This bought the movement a little more time thats for sure. But I am worried that, regardless of what the company says, the city will still break up the protests. I guess we will just have to see. The union involvement definatly is going to bulk up the protests.

It's not a single protest that will suddenly change the world's economy, protesters won't give up on their own, it has to end up on a clash, and the authorities WILL win, because given they lose the first round, you can be assured the army is behind it for backup.

Fuckin A! Now it's on the occupiers to keep the place clean so they can't trot out that excuse again in the future.

[QUOTE=Zeke129;32780048]It's illegal for the US military to be deployed on domestic soil for law enforcement.[/QUOTE] If the authorities fail it means the protesters got extremely violent in order to stay where they are From that point I'm sure the army can be found a way to move them away. For the sake of security or something.

The LA riots were during a state of emergency.

Guys, I have a theory, alright so here in L.A the day after the Occupy protests started we had an usual day of rain in the middle of a dry week. WHAT IF THE GOVERNMENT IS USING WEATHER MANIPULATION TO END THE PROTESTS. Now it's raining in NY?! Just kidding.

[QUOTE=Zeke129;32780048]It's illegal for the US military to be deployed on domestic soil for law enforcement.[/QUOTE] That's deceptive, because it implies that it means the US won't follow that. Example against that include war on the drugs, war on terror (hello Northern Command). In the event of a national emergency, the Air Forces Northern National Security Emergency Preparedness Directorate (AFNSEP) is empowered to take charge, operating under USNORTHCOM [editline]15th October 2011[/editline] The government can only use troops' coercive force on domestic soil if the government declares a state of emergency. legit.

[QUOTE=Hidole555;32776307] CRISIS AVERTED![/QUOTE] Crisis? What kind of protesters move when the government tells them to? Force them to bring out the hoses and it paints the government as an aggressor, it's perfect for propaganda on the protest side. [QUOTE=Contag;32781492]That's deceptive, because it implies that it means the US won't follow that. [/QUOTE] The US government continues infractions against the people's civil liberties, what makes anyone think that they wouldn't find another loophole or just outright break that law?
