- samstave 8y agoWhat was WUO/SDS? But occupy had the feds working with local LEOs with a supposed "kill list" to "take out leadership. They remodeled the front steps of the SF fed reserve due to them, and we're working with Oakland pd on how to deal with the protests and wound up planting agent provacatuers in the midsts to foment vandalism and sway public opinion against ows.
