"The individuals who linked arms and actively resisted, that in itself is an act of violence," UC police Capt. Margo Bennett said. "I understand that many students may not think that, but linking arms in a human chain when ordered to step aside is not a nonviolent protest."

Yeah, right. Linking arms is violence, but slamming your night stick into the ribs of a short Asian woman isn't? This is disgusting:

The movement just keeps getting bigger and bigger and bigger:

Occupy Dallas calls for General Strike, November 30th:

Then let it then be resolved by the General Assembly of Occupy Dallas through consensus that we call upon all people to engage in a General Strike on November 30th, 2011. We implore all people to:

Refrain from Buying or Selling any goods or services including but not limited to, any petroleum products, consumer goods or bank transactions; starting at 12:01 am to 11:59pm on November 30th, 2011.

Refrain from working for a wage starting at 12:01 am to 11:59pm on November 30th, 2011 excluding those individuals that provide emergency and necessary functions including but not limited to Police, Fire and Medical personnel.

Join or form local groups to peacefully protest against the above stated elements.

Occupy Wall Street and Teamsters Occupy Sotheby's. On September 22, 2011, nine activists from #OccupyWallStreet infiltrated Southeby's - the art auction house - during an auction in order to bring attention to the locking out of its art handlers by management. Note what the CEO of Southeby's makes:

In 2008, Ruprecht received a package valued at $6.4 million, which included car and driver, life insurance premiums and club membership dues. The year before, Sotheby’s earned a record $213 million and he was paid $10.3 million in cash and benefits.

Meanwhile, art handlers "who normally make between $16 and $30 an hour, have been out of work and without health insurance. They receive $400 per week in unemployment payments and each person also gets an additional $200 per week from the Teamsters Union, which sets aside funds for strikes and lockouts."

Watch the disruption by the #OWS plants while art works valued at hundreds of thousands of dollars get auctioned off:
