A greater amount of policing of the Occupy area leads to a greater amount of crime outside the Occupy area. Here's an Open Letter from the Oakland cops to Occupy Oakland explaining why Occupy Oakland is bad for Oakland.

As you watched a massive section of the Portland police force trying to oust protesters this morning, where were those cops not working? What happened to the response time for crimes happening outside those districts? Or were the police paid overtime for this effort?
