New York: The Police and the Protesters by Michael Greenberg | The New York Review of Books


New York: The Police and the Protesters by Michael Greenberg | The New York Review of Books:
“The police can see the defeat in our eyes. They know they’ve beaten us,” an Occupy Wall Street organizer told me a few days after the 2012 May Day demonstration that marked the movement’s fizzled attempt to stage a spring resurgence. “They used to look at us as adversaries. There was a certain respect. Now we’re objects of contempt, an excuse for them to get paid overtime. A safe, live-action game.”
