Something that is alarming to me is the growing number of reports of how crime (to even include sexual assault) is being unreported to police and covered up for fear of the occupiers permits getting revoked.

There were a couple of violent crimes at at least one Occupy protest last week. From the dawn of humanity, putting humans together for a long enough time has resulted in crime and deviance (when societies have definitions of criminal and deviant acts). I do not know why the Occupy protestors thought that they would be different.
I agree with someone on a news show who said something to the effect of: "these types of protests are a means to a goal...they are not THE goal."
I think it is time for the Occupiers to go home (for those who have homes) and figure out their next course of action. Real longevity comes when you can enact change when you stop sleeping in tents and marching boulevards.
