Kudos to the St. Louis Police Department for dismantling their Occupy encampment without violence. If you are going to do that, this is how you get it done.
I remain ambivalent about Occupy; while broadly sympathetic to (a lot, but not all of) their grievances, I question the effectiveness of tent cities as political speech. All the more so when they occupy a place like Seattle Central Community College (a few blocks from my apartment), which is not exactly a citadel of the elite.
In any case, I have no desire to watch this resolved in a street battle below my window.

having been present, but not directly involved, for a few street battles with the cops... you really are missing out on some cool shit.
I'll take your word for it. Too much of a peacenik at heart, I guess.
i learned, my buddies might say earned, a grudging respect for the cops.
i still become thoroughly amused watching others do the same.
yeah, maybe i'm a sicko... but its just one of those 'facts of life', ya know...
i'm even more amused when it happens to hippies, or those who wear dreadlocks.
