L.A.P.D. and the Philadephia police department both evict occupation camps one night after they both didn't. Are these guys up late together having drinks or what? The Los Angeles Times shows how they entered the Los Angeles camp, sectioning people from one another, breaking the camp up:
"I couldn't be prouder of what I believe is maybe the finest moment in the history of the Los Angeles Police Department," Villaraigosa said, according to The Chicago Tribune. "The activists' fundamental rights were respected, and the result was a peaceful and orderly end to the encampment at City Hall."
Say wha -? (When it ended? And with 300 people arrested?)
Still, Mayor Villaraigosa considers this a feather in his hat, rather than the deep smear on his administration it really is, along with his other mayoral cohorts. For plain and simple, you can't evict an idea whose time has come, as further north up the west coast, masses of activists occupied the Washington State capitol building decrying billions in further cuts to public education, and the total destruction of a state health care plan that already had over 100,000 on a waiting list. 3 people were tasered. (Well why not?)

O Christmas Tree! Occupy Olympia Takes the State Capitol Building
So, these mayors are not the only ones with maps. Plus, we have masses of people with not only debt and unemployment, but college educations. And that alone says a lot about the enormous capacity of this movement.

If you know neither yourself nor your enemy, you will always endanger yourself."One small clip from inside the occupied Olympia capitol building, as occupiers People Mic a key part of Jefferson's masterpiece:
