New York Churches Shelter Occupy Protesters, Now Monitored By New York Police

With Mayor Michael Bloomberg (I) ratcheting up police crackdowns on Occupy Wall Street this week, the New York Times reports that several churches in New York City are sheltering protesters who can no longer stay in Zucotti Park. About 46 protesters spent Wednesday night in the United Methodist Church of St. Paul and St. Andrew. However, instead of respecting the sanctuary, police in plainclothes are entering churches to monitor their conduct.

Why are they (the police) entering the church in plainclothes? And why are they entering at all? Each and every one of the protesters has now been photographed several times by surveillance cameras and are forever stored in the ever expanding database of several police agencies. What could they further accomplish in the church? Pepper spray the priest? Beat the altar boys?
