The Occupy Wall Street protests and the new mini-society that has formed in Liberty Square in Lower Manhattan, continues to tax the city’s budget.  Recently, it has also sparked howls of protest from top police commanders who blame OWS activists for an increase in gun violence across New York City.

High-ranking police commanders told the New York Post that they attributed a surge in gun violence – the number of people shot in the city spiked 28 percent in the last month – to the fact that special NYPD task forces have been diverted to the protests.  “They are always used when there are spikes in crime as a quick fix. But instead of being sent to Jamaica, Brownsville and the South Bronx, they are in Wall Street,” an unnamed top cop told the Post.

As reported by AlterNet last week, the New York City Police Department has already spent more than $3.4 million on overtime hours as a result of the Occupy Wall Street protests.  Over the same span of time, the NYPD has arrested around 1,000 people associated with the movement.
