This isn't shocking. Or disturbing. Or in any way resembling the actions of a police state.

Re: Occupy Wall Street protest
I empathize with people. If you don't, well, that's your choice. It's your choice not to care about other people.
I mean, American culture and society teaches us to care only about ourselves. Ya know, no one else matters. It's called: the spirit of the ages. Gain wealth, forgetting all but self. (And, too, we Americans are taught from childhood not to believe in a gift economy. Ya know, public health care is sinister. I mean, why should I care if the old woman down the street has health care or enough to eat. And we've been taught this since childhood, through school, through TV, and through graduate school.
Again, why should I care about anyone else? I should simply engross myself in the principle of greed. Ya know, no one else matters.
When we swat a mosquito, well, that's a value judgment. Now because of global climate change we've decided that future generations have no value.
Anyway, that's fine. I mean, again, it's your choice whether or not you care about anyone else.
But as Adam Smith pointed out, the so-called Father of Capitalism, the fundamental core of being a human being is sympathy for other people.

Hold on! Occupy Detroit? What do they have to complain about. I mean, Detroit is booming. Much like Cleveland. And Camden, New Jersey. I mean, Camden is a great place. As the pics below illustrate.
