1. Police have generally been favorable to or at least tolerant of Tea Party protests. They have been hostile and violent towards Occupy Wall St.
I live in Portland, where one of the largest ongoing Occupy events is occurring. The police have been extraordinarily supportive. There have been very few "violent" incidents, no mass arrests, and the police have been facilitating various marches and camps that have been started.
