Veterans will protect protesters from cops?

FreakOutNation » The Marines are coming to #OccupyWallStreet to Protect the Protesters: "Dressed in uniform 16 or more marines so far and Army troops will be headed to the Occupy Wall Street demonstration to protect the protesters against the police crackdown. “We all took an oath to uphold, protect and defend the constitution of this country. That’s what we will be doing” wrote Reddit user ‘theenemywasme’ calling all Military Veterans in the popular social site to join him."

This is becoming a drama of sorts but the real issue is whether it will be binary (bad) or triadic (good). Triadic is when, as Anonymous suggests, we are indeed one, looking for a way beyond that improves the lot of the whole community. As binaries, most demonstrations suck. The Civil Rights movement was largely triadic. As was Tahrir. As Wall Street can/is/will be, I trust and hope.
