Scott Olsen's example for the Occupy movement

From The Guardian (London):

"The incident in Oakland is just the latest attack by police around the US on the nascent Occupation movement. This movement has brought people who have never protested before into the streets with a sense of empowerment. But that sense is in danger of being blunted by police actions that punish people for exercising their first amendment rights. And while brutality toward protesters has captured most of the media attention, law enforcement agencies are quietly using arbitrary rules and local ordinances such as anti-camping laws to constrain occupations and make it impossible for them to continue."
