WASHINGTON - Dozens of U.S. Park Police officers in riot gear and on horseback converged before dawn Saturday on one of the nation's last remaining Occupy sites, with police clearing the grounds of tents that they said were banned under park rules.
That move left large swaths of open space and raised questions about exactly what would remain of the encampment once the enforcement was over.
Still, police said they were not evicting the protesters. Those whose tents conformed to regulations were allowed to stay.
The officers arrived before dawn Saturday at McPherson Square, just blocks from the White House, on horseback and in riot gear.
If they want to protest... fine... they can stand and sit around and march like normal people... they can't just take what they want. Just the term "occupy" itself reeks of selfishness and bespeaks of people who think that just because they breath... they are entitled to what ever they want... distribute the wealth to them who are not capable of accruing it themselves.
