DHS Chemical And Biological Response Unit Surrounding Occupy Wall Street Protesters
Chemical and Biological Response Units from the Department Of Homeland Security have been confirmed to be surrounding and converging on Occupy Wall Street Protesters.
It remains to be seen exactly why these units are there, but it would seem to indicate that the police will soon be using chemicals on the protesters.
Considering the fact that the Occupy Wall Street protesters have no chemical or biological weapons, the only need for these type of response units is if the government planned to either let loose chemicals to blame on the protesters or if they plan on using chemicals on them.

Local media in New York reports that a large number of Occupy Wall Street protesters were arrested this afternoon near Union Square in Lower Manhattan.
“A spokesman for the protesters claimed more than 50 were arrested. The NYPD has not responded to WNYC’s request for comment,” WNYC reported at 5:32 PM EST.
“Protesters wielding signs that demanded ‘End the Fed’ and other anti-Wall St slogans marched up Fifth Avenue near Union Square on Saturday, drawing a significant police presence and snarling traffic in the neighborhood,” Chris Bannon writes for the radio station.
BuzzFeed puts the number arrested at around 80. “While the NYPD maintains that they neither own nor use tear gas, some have stepped forward to confirm that they were pepper-sprayed. In at least one video, a man is violently tackled for simply talking to an officer,” writes Chris Menning for the website.
NY cops have a reputation for man-handling non-violent protesters. In the second video here, New York City’s finest corral a number of female protesters and then pepper-spray them:
Here are the people involved, and their message: “We are unions, students, teachers, veterans, first responders, families, the unemployed and underemployed. We are all races, sexes and creeds. We are the majority. We are the 99 percent. And we will no longer be silent.”
There were 60-80 arrests at an Occupy Wall Street demo this afternoon, including a handful of NYC-area Wobblies (Fellow Worker Gross was among those arrested, report says he looked in good spirits, though his Frank Little shirt was torn to shreds). The organizers are asking folks to support the arrestees by calling the police stations to demand their release. Details are below.
Please call all day and all night until everyone is released.
I am not sure if the arrests occured before after these young women were herded into a pen and maced… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=moD2JnGTToA or this man was thrown to the ground for no apparent reason… http://gawker.com/5843574/cop-throws-wall-st-protester-to-the-ground-for-no-obvious-reason?popular=true
