Police dismantled a tent city of Occupy protesters in downtown San Francisco early on Wednesday, arresting more than 50 as they shut down the last major Occupy encampment on the West Coast.
The city had repeatedly warned the protesters to move from the public plaza at the foot of Market Street in recent weeks and tried unsuccessfully to negotiate a move to another location. Read the full story.

Their purpose may be enlightening but their housekeeping is beneath the dignity of this country.
Compare what the occupy movement left behind, to what the Tea Party rallies left behind (almost nothing), and you have an idea of why we in the Tea Party scoff at comparisons of the two.
This is Freedom to get together in your country people? Very sad. You need more HUMAN contact not ROBOTIC unhealthy COLD Distant Mental Life. Someone said "beneath dignity of this country" - really.. It is Okay to KILL One Million Iraqis.. but keeping street "clean".. You must be LUNATIC... Mess is okay.. Do not need to be OCD and then end up taking PROZAC. Life is never meant to look like this - CONCRETE and NO Sweat Beads.
Too "outwardly" Clean To Be Humane "inside"?
Look at the "police" all geared up with your TAX MONEY PURCHASED given to "fear-mongers" who SELL those Gears - ZIONISTS. Twenty of them "abusing" one GOOD man? What ur country come to?
WAKE UP. Stop being EVIL and HEARTLESS. Very sad to see these pictures. Your Western Young People are committing "CLEAN" suicide away from Global Cameras by the THOUSANDS.. Is that is okay for hypocritical "clean freak"? Blood spilling of MILLION Muslims Okay but a few GOOD Americans asking you to stop being Evil is not. AMAZING GRACE.
Messy means THEY ARE HAVING A LIFE.. Not Anal Filthy Sex in EXCREMENT - Like ya God - Sandusky.
Jackie,
I think you got up on the wrong side of your bed. Incidentally, we might look up the word "dignity." Maybe it doesn't exist anymore.
hey jackie hansel-smith????hyphinated name hugh ....too much of a man to take your husbands last name,,,
you are a scary freak....
everyone has the right to assemble NOT Occupy....if you are unhappy with how things are ,,,,occupy a voting booth,,,,find a candidate that has your values and occupy their campain headquarters,,,or run for office yourself....occupying a park or anything else is a waste of time and our tax dollars cleaning up after you.
