The Free Market Case for Occupying Wall Street

November 21, 2011Erik Kain

I have written as a friendly critic – or a skeptical supporter? – of the Occupy movement many times now. Over the weekend I wrote several posts condemning the police violence at UC Davis and UC Berkeley that occurred this past week. Before that, I wrote several posts about the limits of the protest movement […]

UC Davis Not an Isolated Incident, It’s Part of the Culture War

November 20, 2011Erik Kain

The police violence on display at UC Davis this Friday is not the first of its kind in response to the Occupy movement. As I wrote yesterday, a similar incident involving police beating protesters at UC Berkeley happened this past Tuesday. There have been numerous other incidents as well, from to to to City and […]

Maybe It’s Time to Occupy the Police State

November 19, 2011Erik Kain

When the first major evacuation of Occupy was ordered, and police responded in full riot gear, I wrote at the time: A little friendly advice for the police: if you want a protest or a rally to dissipate, ignore it. Until it turns into a violent riot, ignore it. Even if it goes on for […]

At UC Davis, Students Silently Confront Chancellor Katehi

November 19, 2011Erik Kain

This is via Xeni Jardin at boing boing who writes: I thought I wouldn’t see a more dramatic video than the ones yesterday of the pepper-spraying of students by police at UC Davis. I was wrong. In the video above, UC Davis students, silent, with linked arms, confront Chancellor Katehi one day after the incident. It’s hard to […]

Police Should Condemn, Not Defend, Excessive Use of Force at UC Davis

November 19, 2011Erik Kain

Police at UC Davis maced a group of peaceful Occupy protesters in a gross display of excessive force Friday. The video, which I posted earlier today, has since gone viral. Police are not backing down from the action despite the police actions being widely criticized. “If you look at the video you are going to […]

Police Response to Occupy Wall Street is Absurd

November 19, 2011Erik Kain

Events like the one in the above video have been far too common in the police response to Occupy protests across the country. I do believe that Occupy is at a tipping point, and that it must grow beyond and evolve away from the tent city occupations, but this police response is absurd and excessive. […]
