They were arrested, infiltrated, and attacked at multiple locations, over many months. They keep coming back, too, but that doesn't make the news. Right now, they're doing this thing called the Rolling Jubilee. Also, hundreds of local OWS support protests and encampments happened, and they got raided, pepper sprayed, etc. just like NYC. Many of them are also persisting and fighting. One such group is Occupy Fights Foreclosures, which fights illegal foreclosures. What is destroying the OWS image is the media, which actively ignores OWS. For some reason, they'll give a dozen TEA party people news coverage, but a larger (but still small) OWS protest doesn't get reporters.
