Remember

The Occupy Flea Baggers think there was no justification for their deportation from Wall Street adjacent private property and the arrests to get them off of said private land.  To them, the police restoring a bit of order is illegitimate.  The lesson they are learning, when THEY get power and control a police force, and some future Tea Party they won't need to use their Socialist Sturmtruppen to intimidate or attack a peaceful Tea Party type event.  They can order their cops to on a trumped up reason even they, the leftist, think is illegitimate.  Because they think rule of man is how it works.  So they will have no qualms ordering police to tear gas Tea Party types.

This might not work well for the confused leftists.  In the eyes of the general public, at a minimum.
