Time will tell whether the Occupy protests amount to anything more than an expression of discontent on the part of the 99%. However, as John W. Whitehead points out in this week's vodcast, what has been made clear, is that the 1% is protected by its own security force—the police—funded ironically enough by the very 99% against whom they are waging war with pepper spray, rubber bullets, tear gas and other instruments of compliance.
