HARTFORD —— City officials say Occupy Hartford protesters must leave their encampment at the corner of Farmington Avenue and Broad Street by 6 p.m. Tuesday.

Hartford Police Chief Daryl K. Roberts said protesters camping at the area they've named Turning Point Park have been notified that they risk being arrested after the deadline passes.

"I don't anticipate any trouble, but I will take appropriate corrective action," Roberts said.

Rubber bullets. Truncheons. High-pressure water cannons.

Let’s see how brave they are.

Both Segarra and Roberts said the decision to vacate the site was motivated by continuing reports of illegal activity, including drug use and a sexual assault last week.

I saw that set-up last week when I had to make a special trip to Farmington. Had to turn my eyes away quickly.

These Democrap Cities are starting to seriously move on the Occupiers because the Occupiers UNINTENTIONALLY expose the hypocrisy of the ObamAllah Administration to intellectually honest Americans.
First: The people see that scroungy Occupiers are NOT targeting the Multimillionaires “One Per centers” like Obama & wife, college presidents, complaining movies stars, TV News and entertainment personalities, sport stars, the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Democrat Beneficiaries, Jon Corzine and his ilk, The “Greens” and Man-Made-Global-Warming Lobby etc.; those who take the Government largess and protections while collecting millions of dollars a year;
Secondly, and perhaps more importantly,: the honest citizens observe the uneven application of Justice by the local Democrap Politicians who allow the Occupiers to defecate all over the parks and neighborhoods with inexcusably delayed consequence; they know if any other group or individual citizen had done the same they would suffer the full weight of the law upon them. The Honest Citizen is visibly outraged and that is why the cities are finally doing something, but not much.

Also you can add, with growing dislike of Obama and the Dems, add to that, the OWS crowd, the city mayors are in panic mode to shut the OWS protests around.
