OK- I'm inclined to doubt you because you're using cop lingo and making it your job to misrepresent the details of the case as well as contradict the reality of how police relate to people in NYC, from countless experiences of my own and many other people I have talked to or know well.

Everything I said was true. What you're saying is misleading. Your narrative of the evening omits the legal situation, including that the park owners are legally not allowed to close the space, the political situation, wherein the mayor and police chief had it out for us and used these tactics constantly, and the part…
Thanks for posting this. What Cecily did with her unwanted attention is I think really powerful and consistently on point: don't look at her, look at the system and all the other human beings who are so badly abused by it.
I'm not the one to do this, but next time Occupy gets trashed in the media or in pop art like the…
It's really hard to know what his motives were, but the way Bloomberg and Kelly handled OWS, the police had by that point (6 months to the day since the occupation began) internalized a sense of lawlessness and actually consistently sadistic approach w/r/t handling Occupy.

If there was ever a time when the destination was less important than the journey, this would seem to be…
Well, if that's your honest opinion then I will be certain not to bother trying to appeal to your humanity in any future times of possible need.
A borderless state is probably not a thing that is possible. A world without borders would probably be a more scaleable mesh of localities and social groups. At least, that's what I'd expect. We've seen how big states can get in the past; it's not actually that big.
Um, yeah, maybe! It depends on a lot of things but if you're really in need and I can trust you, it's totally possible.
