authorities would not allow the violence that swept Oakland to be
repeated in New York, The New York Post said.
Oakland police had to use tear gas on Thursday to stop hundreds of
agitated Occupy Wall Street protesters who were destroying shop
windows and setting fire in the streets and engaging in other acts of
vandalism.
Bloomberg said Friday on his weekly WOR radio appearance that the city
would not tolerate some of the behavior at Zuccotti Park, but
officials also must "understand the laws and the implications."
The mayor said that anybody who thought the city was doing nothing was wrong.
He said some Occupy Wall Street protesters were trying to destroy the
neighborhood around their camp site but most were not.
Bloomberg earlier promised to take measures against some protesters
after city residents complained about noise, disturbances and social
misbehavior.
