To my knowledge, actions against occupy-movements in the US generally didn't involve "repression of dissent" but rather "repression of wild camping where it is extremely inconvenient for everyone else".

Not everything they did was totally appropriate, but on the other hand it's really hard to dissolve such a camp without anyone getting hurt. The US certainly handled that better than Turkey.

How standards have eroded. Next time, we'll cling to "the US does better than Egypt"

So, police agent provocateurs providing knowledge and material support (to do things like blockade the port of Houston) is just about kicking out inconvenient campers?
