Occupiers past problems with police
Since the Occupy Salt Lake movement began Oct. 6, bike patrol officers have made 91 arrests at Pioneer Park, mainly for misdemeanor drug- and alcohol-related crimes, according to Burbank.
Four people were arrested following a fight at the park at 3:30 a.m. Thursday that involved about 30 people.
Police say many of those arrested since October are people whom they've dealt frequently with in the past, including transients prior to the protest. But since the ban on camping at the park was put on hold, many of those people have been able to do illegal activities at the park and have a tent to shield their activities.

Capitalism is human nature at work. To think you can overrule it is to embrace folly.
