Here's a video of the discussion between Deputy Chief of Staff Matt Szabo and a batch of people from Occupy L.A. earlier in the week. It provides an insight into the nonsensical demands being made by protesters. From the LAT:
Protesters said they would cease further negotiations with officials until 10 grievances were addressed. Some demands on the group's list are specific, like a call for a moratorium on all foreclosures in Los Angeles, as well as a call for the city to divest from all major banks. Others, such as a call for "money to be removed from politics," are less so. The protesters also ask that police be banned from using rubber bullets, pepper spray, tear gas and other riot-suppression tactics on those exercising 1st Amendment rights.
Right - and exactly who voted for these few hundred folks to determine city, state and federal policies? Really time to end this - now.
