What If They Sent in Social Services to Help Occupations Instead of Riot Cops to Bust Heads?

Cities are cutting back on vitally needed social services, while at the same time, buying expensive military gear for their police departments.

Occupations across the country have struggled to feed and shelter the least fortunate among us, and then faced often violent police crackdowns at great taxpayer expense. Pause for a moment and imagine what might result if mayors sent in social workers to help people rather than riot police to bust some heads?
In a society that tends to avert its gaze from the homeless, the hungry, the addicted and the mentally ill, the Occupy movement's compassion has become an albatross around its neck. “We don't exclude the people at the margins,” one protester at Occupy Oakland told me. “We invite them in and feed them.”

A group of University of North Texas students want to clean up their campus, and that means kicking out the Occupy Denton group.

Occupy Denton is camped out in front of UNT's art building, and UNoccupy UNT wants them gone.

UNoccupy UNT says the protesters are creating a site for sore eyes.

"Walking by, you can smell them, and you see them. You can see the trash cans, but if you really take a closer inspection, you see a lot of really grotesque things," UNoccupy UNT leader Alex Delgado said. "They have clam chowder that expired in July that they are eating out of."

Delgado started a petition to remove the occupiers from campus

Occupy Movement to gather at Texarkana post office

Occupy Texarkana will be holding a demonstration in solidarity with Occupy Dallas and the Occupy Wall Street movement as a whole on Wednesday, November 30th, 2011 from 7 a.m.-5 p.m. at the downtown Post Office in Texarkana.

This demonstration coincides with a general strike called for by the General Assembly of Occupy Dallas to protest unfair and abusive practices by corporations on both an individual and a governmental level, and the General Assembly of Occupy Texarkana joins in issuing this call and invites all who support the movement to participate throughout the day.

Literature will be available, and it is the hope of Occupy Texarkana to perhaps change perspectives regarding the Occupy Wall Street movement. Everyone is invited to participate, make their voices heard, or just to listen and learn what the movement is about.

Occupy Texarkana is committed to a peaceful demonstration and preemptively disavows any attempt to subjugate the message with violence or other inappropriate or illegal action. Proper permits have been obtained from both states and from the federal government.
