The powers that be finally struck back. They needed a reason and unfortunately some of the Occupy protesters gave it to them- the health and safety issue.
With all the best intentions of the Occupy Movement- there were some legitimate concerns about debris and pockets of occasional violence in the camps. Businesses that surrounded several of these camps complained to their respective city leaders that the movement was bad for business- in others words- the occupiers had to go.
Politicians frightened of the business community caved in to their demands and used the shield of health and public safety issue as a cover to protect themselves. Once again, votes and money wins.
