This is what democracy looks like in LA after the SWAT troops move through, destroy the camp, and arrest 200 people. 

That's what you meant, right?

It's a little strange he picked a photo with a militarily dressed officer in the middle of a wrecked camp site to make his point.

Great idea. Oh, and the look of the place is the police department's fault...

What'd it look like before?  Were they stampeded out or were they calmly walked out with the ability to collect their things?

Here's the rabid right wing news source Associated Press writing about the site.

LOS ANGELES—Trash, flattened tents and the stench of urine were the legacy of Occupy Los Angeles on Wednesday after hundreds of protesters were arrested or chased out of their City Hall park encampment.

City crews erected chain link fence and concrete barricades around the park at dawn, six hours after 1,400 police officers swarmed the area.

Later in the morning, police officers in white hazardous materials suits prowled the park in search of personal belongings to store for retrieval by protesters.

"A lot of this stuff is contaminated with urine and feces and who knows what," Cmdr. Andrew Smith said.

The encampment turned the once-lush City Hall lawns into patches of dirt strewn with tons of debris—clothing, tents, bedding, shoes, trash and other human flotsam that accumulated during the past two months.
