More than half the "protesters" were undercover cops ...dressed as "hippies" and Occupy Protesters.

The occupy protsters would announce a protest location.. and no sooner than that...the undercover thought-police would call the troops and give them the location.

Before the protesters even got to the new location.. the tanks and riot police were already in place... set up.. ready to go.

No free speech here folks.. sorry.... try again at a later date....

I had to work there lol. The number of protesters was so little, I'm not surprised.
