For those thinking the "Occupy Movement" is over, guess again. In Portland yesterday there was yet again a very tense standoff between over zealous officers of the Portland Police and protesters as the Portland Occupy Movement tried once again to take over another park, tried again to exercise their "First Amendment" rights. The mayor of Portland has decided those rights simply do not exist, stating for the record, "We cannot afford another protest." EXCUSE ME...so, the mayor decides that the police in FULL RIOT GEAR can be dispersed ahead of a protest to BREAK IT UP, that said police can intercede to preempt citizens from practicing their First Amendment?
In another draconian move, the Police Department has taken to creating what amounts to a Black List, doing their best to see those protesters BRANDED, marked with the label of troublemakers by releasing a full list of names and charges to the press.
