So it goes in OWS land. Not long after hearing that the Canadian company responsible for kicking out the protesters from Zuccotti Park had backed down, police resumed their indiscriminate head bashing of wayward protest members. At one point a motorcycle cop ran over a pedestrian.

Interesting to note how the media has portrayed this development. While this CBS story paints the actual story of police instigating the violence, the headline “Violence Breaks Out During ‘Occupy Wall Street’ March Toward New York Stock Exchange” makes it sound like a mass riot took place without any identified instigators, the implication of course being that it was the protesters.
