New York Times Reading Log 11/29/11

I found todays paper very informative. There was a wide variety of news included, which kept me interested in reading many different parts. With many Occupy movements taking place nationally, it is interesting to hear about the differences between each one. The article, Los Angeles Police Withdraw After Occupy Eviction Deadline Passes caught my attention. It was interesting to see why the Occupy Los Angles movement was given more leeway by police and other officials compared to the Occupy movements in other parts of the country. Police failed to make an effort to break up the commotion, and their only goal was to make sure traffic was kept moving smoothly. Why can't more Occupy movements be handled in such a way? I believe that sometimes, police exhibit too much force and power in our country which is meant to be free.
