Yeah, you want to go in and make sure they get hurt now.

Sorry, undue cynicism.

An occupy protest was "cleared" in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, a week or two ago. 50 protesters and two cops treated in hospital. One cop needed his eyes flushed (most likely wayward pepper spray, police issue only, oops).

Here's a more modest proposal.

The protest has two locations, and must swap back and forth. Three days here, three days there. Maybe a week.

It would stop it from becoming a homeless refuge, without stifling dissent.
