The Top 5 Videos From the Occupy Wall Street Eviction

Following the NYPD’s successful attempt at evicting Occupiers from their “homeland” at Zuccotti Park, a number of must-see videos have emerged.
These clips capture the chaos and confusion that unfolded once law enforcement officers arrived at the scene. We’ve compiled the five most interesting, entertaining and shocking moments to emerge thus far from the NYPD crackdown.
(UPDATE: Judge halts occupy eviction)
The first video, which was apparently taken just moments after the eviction, shows a group of young protesters waving lighters in the air and serenading police.
In between the Occupiers and a line of police, a man sits playing a banjo — apparently in an effort to provide music to accompany their expletive-filled lyrics. In between hums, the group sings, “What the f*ck,” while the cops simply stare. Watch the clip, below (warning: language):
Now, let’s have a change of pace. The following video starts with what looks like a peaceful stroll down a Manhattan street. But before long, a man in a hooded sweatshirt can be seen running from authorities.
Of course, the chase doesn’t end favorably for him when NYPD officers tackle him to the ground. The protesters can be heard chanting, “Shame, shame, shame, shame!” One man yells, “You should be with us!” — apparently a plea for the police to join the now homeless campers (caution: language and violence):
Then there’s this woman, who claims to have been part of the human chain that was formed in Zuccotti Park’s kitchen tent during the police removal. Her name is apparently, “Sparkles Veronica Taylor.” Yes, “Sparkles.”
In the video, she recaps, with great dramatic performance, the police brutality she allegedly witnessed. She says, “I saw them beat up a lot of people.” But the most curious part is her statement (around 1:50) about the protestors’ bravery.
In describing their actions she proclaimed that they were, “Literally risking their lives to save our home.” Watch it, below (caution: language):
And then there’s this video of an attempted human chain. People can be heard yelling “lock your arms.” One woman frantically screams, “Join with us! Join with us!”
In another portion of the clip, the protesters chant, “The whole world is watching!” Watch the chaos ensue (caution: language):
And this last video is simply out-of-control. It’s a short clip during which police can be seen clashing with protesters. But the “Where’s Waldo?” moment happens around 1:40, when a protester (or potentially a cameraman — I’m not sure) can be seen climbing a street post. The police subsequently yell for him to come down:
Stay tuned. More to follow.

Posted on November 15, 2011 at 11:01amI have a feeling TAXWARRIOR may be right. This may be the means to keep the protesters there indefinitely. By sanitzing the grounds when they get out of hand and allowing the protesters back later they can avoid the “health hazard” reasoning for their expulsion. So far Bloomberg’s wording suggests they can only return to protest, and then they must leave..they cannot camp there. But this NYC judge seems to have other ideas.

Number one on their list would be…
1. They are missing the latest installment of Jersey Shore W/Snookie.
Report Post »2. Now that their parents finally got them out of their basements the parents have had all locks changed on the house so they can’t come back in.
3. And because they no longer live in their parents house their credit cards have been canceled.
4. Many of them don’t have their parents huge flat screen TV to play their favorite video game on. You know the new one designed by Al Gore called “Stop Global Whining”. This is the one where melting ice falls off of glaciers and crushes hundreds of cute little Penguins to death (for points of course).
5. No fridge to raid after a few bowls of some really strong pot.
6. The list is endless…

Man my heart goes out to the police who have had to put up with these nutters for all of these long days. Who picks up the tab, tax payers…are you gonna take it anymore?
The Seattle Mayor chided the Police for pepper spraying the non-compliant protestors…take note that a previous Seattle Mayor was ousted for doing the same…for protecting the anarchists and not the property owners who suffered destruction of their property.

Posted on November 16, 2011 at 10:45am@NOBAMA4EVER…I am concerned about Obama enacting martial law also. Not just because of this chaos, but because it looks like the “Supercommittee” can’t come up with the trillion dollars of savings to bring down the deficit. Notice that Obama said something like no cheating…how hypocritical since every time they show “savings” it is a gimick! My concern about martial law is that Obama has already made a comment about the Congress being broken and unable to function. Also, I think it was Panetta that said that the cuts to the military that will be enacted if the Supercommittee fails would “gut the military.” I’m afraid Obama will seize control because the inability of the Congress to act is putting our country at risk, therefore we should scrap the elections. God help our country!
