Occupy Atlanta released a statement that week in response.
"Today we were all dismayed by Mayor Kasim Reed's claim that our nonviolent demonstration against corporate greed and economic inequities cost the city over $400,000. This is, of course, a factual error," according to the statement in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
The group said the mayor "spent the people's money on an extreme excessive police presence that rivals any big-budget Hollywood production to manage several hundred peaceful demonstrators that wanted nothing more than public space to assemble and air grievances."

What a load of crap, in occupy new york for example there are stabbings and drug problems that have been documented, you have people running out to stop traffic, you have cops getting liquids thrown in their faces. In occupy Vancouver you have tent OD's
You have a TB breakout in one occupy camp, probably from inhaling dried poop flakes (
)
In Calgary you have people setting themselves on fire.
You have so called peaceful protesters trying to actively prevent people from getting into buildings.
Yeah dumb a$$ your protest might be peaceful but that police presence is required as is the damage you caused to your squatters village, as is various other things.
And the people that are paying for this damage ain't the 1%'ers its the 99%'ers that you pretend to represent.
