The Occupy Wall Street Movement has been ongoing for over 2 months, spreading like wildfire over the country. Most people claim that they are more disruptive and chaotic than being a peaceful protest. “There have been sanitation hazards and drug overdoses, even occasional deaths and sexual assaults,” reports The Washington Post.
Other cities besides New York have been slowly continuing this outrageous form of protesting, including Portland, Seattle, Chicago, Oakland and Baltimore. City officials have been complaining about the disruptiveness of Occupy Wall Street for a long time. Recently, police officers began raiding encampments in the middle of the night, citing a public safety disaster.
The police have arrested 200 protesters in New York so far.
“Protesters in Chicago violated a noise ordinance; a protester in New York defecated on a police officer. In Oakland, when police forcibly cleared protesters from Frank Ogawa Plaza, due to rat infestation, leaning crews hauled away more than 100 tens, dozens of molded mattresses and 27.8 tons of trash,” (The Washington Post).
Since these concerns over the encampments in the past month, city officials from all over have looked to each other for guidance and shared what has worked for them and what has not to try and regulate this problem nationally.
Due to the lack of structure and controversy with these protests claiming to represent all but the wealthiest 1 percent, they are starting to lose some of its support.
