good one, #ows

this is an amazing internet joke! i was just reading through some live updates, here's an excerpt:
10:53 am: police profiling protesters; checking IDs to access Broadway checkpoints around Wall Street. Video stream shows police selectively allowing some people to pass without ID based on appearance, while blocking other people who "look like protesters" from passing even with ID.
10:44 am: thousands occupying Liberty Square
10:39 am: reports of LRAD sound cannon used by NYPD to disperse protesters singing National Anthem near Pine St
10:37 am: Bloomberg responds to Wall Street shutdown
10:32 am: one march headed down william toward beaver stopped by police; people who "look like protesters" not allowed to pass, but "suits" allowed through
10:30 am: protesters chanting "her cuffs are too tight" in solidarity with 60 y/o woman who can't feel her arms after being arrested
