I woke up early last Friday in Chicago, where I was covering that city's Occupiers and their push to move into a rented space. It was an exciting week, as the night before there'd been a heated general assembly, as well as news that Mayor Rahm Emanuel had possibly cancelled an event because of threats that students affiliated with the movement might protest.

Think the BPD is sore about the injunction -- extended yesterday by a judge in court yesterday -- that keeps them from mopping up Occupy Boston?

Last night, in a bizarre but also scary show of force, the cops removed an industrial sink from Dewey Square, allegedly roughing up some protesters as they did so.
