A young woman in New York who has been covering the Occupy Wall Street protests wonders:
“The point is not that the cops are all bad guys while the occupiers are good, or even that Occupation is itself the answer. Rather, the question that Anne’s experience raises is this: how did it get to the point that many people’s 
only experience of close-knit community is a protest encampment? Why does this seem to be one of the only places where the more privileged … and the less privileged (those who have no Brooklyn apartment to go to, following the raid) actually come into contact with each other, live close by each other, have to deal with each other?”
