I never thought I'd see the day that my own fair city would fight the Occupy Wall Street Movement. This article makes you wonder. What were those hundred peaceful protesters doing that made them more serious threats than others during the raid? I was actually in Boston this past Saturday. I jumped in the protester's parade as they walked by the public garden. I saw the nice little camp that the protesters had set up. It hardly seemed like a place that required a force of 200 riot geared officers to clear out at 1:30 in the morning. Maybe I'm just a child with pipe dreams of a Government that actually listens to the people, but When the President sees the future of the United States in the streets protesting you would think that he would do something.
The author writes a quick snippet of what is going on in the city. He shows no bias, but he does call the people, "peaceful protesters," which could be taken as a biased phrase. There is little background information about the actual movement. The article just tells of the raid that occurred.
