Is not that “people friendly” according to this piece from SocialistWorker.org.
A snippet follows, but check out the entire piece here:
More generally, the truth is this: Democratic mayors may talk about how they sympathize with the Occupy movement. They may even try to speak in its name, as Quan has. But their office requires them to keep order and protect the interests of the 1 percent–and so they will turn to repression to try to stop the struggle from disrupting business as usual.

THE SAME truth applies further up the chain, in the White House of Barack Obama, the first African American president of the U.S.
Where was Barack Obama, who claimed to understand the “broad-based frustration” of the movement, when Occupy activists in Oakland were reclaiming Oscar Grant Plaza after enduring vicious police violence 24 hours earlier? Answer: He was across the Bay at a $5,000-a-plate fundraiser for his presidential campaign.
Quelle surprise, eh ? ? ? ?
