The Denver "Police" Department is on a harassment spree against Occupy Denver.

12. In this sense it is...the political class is party independent.

Amd OWS is a threat to the political and economic elite.

I am all but shocked that it is, and don't even think it shouldn't be. It's the nature of it.

On the plus side dems will and have, reacted faster to OWS in a positive way than the GOP. That is where they are different. But mayors, governors and yes, POTUS, are under the same exact elite pressures to stamp this down from a threatened economic elite.

Come spring with all kinds of challenges becoming more obvious, politicos (on both parties actually) will tentatively take on the OWS banner. They are literally in a vise, and here is where voting, as one of a multiplicity of tactics, comes in.

Oh and goes without saying, some democratic mayors, and more than a few Republican ones, should face the boot at the polls.

But when you look objectively at what Denver PD (dem) and SDPD (R) have done...it is indistinguishable.
