New York (CNN) -- A cleaning planned for the Manhattan park where "Occupy Wall Street" protesters have camped out for weeks has been postponed, a move that averts a showdown between demonstrators and police.

The New York mayor's office said Brookfield Properties, the owners of Zuccotti Park, told the city late Thursday the scheduled cleaning is off for now and "for the time being" they are "withdrawing their request" made earlier in the week for police assistance during the cleaning operation.

"Our position has been consistent throughout: the City's role is to protect public health and safety, to enforce the law, and guarantee the rights of all New Yorkers. Brookfield believes they can work out an arrangement with the protesters that will ensure the park remains clean, safe, available for public use and that the situation is respectful of residents and businesses downtown, and we will continue to monitor the situation," Deputy Mayor Cas Holloway said

Cleaning? The libs I’ve seen at these protests react to shampoo and to soap like vampires with garlic or a cross. They’d rather sleep or sit on the little “presents” that their friends leave on the grass (and occasionally on police cars) than experience cleanliness.

Any Haitian emigres around? A little Cholera would do wonders for the demonstrators.

Maybe we can smuggle a rabbid raccoon in there. That should make it fun.

True, the New Black Panthers, the NAACP, Rainbow Push, and the Nation of Islam are all democrat extensions.

True enough. But the longer this goes on, the worse it looks for everyone for whom that matters. As Bonaparte once said, "Never interrupt your enemy while he is making a mistake."

Dozens of FReepers called this yesterday. Ain't no way Bloomberg/Brookfield is going to offend this little community organized by Soros and Zero himself.

It's all they've got left. This administration is in its FINAL DAYS

This OWS movement is Obamas last round.
