Not officially, of course, and certainly not intentionally. And I of course might be wrong, Occupy may endure.
But I promise you, no one will think of Occupy the same way ever again after today's AP photos.
A woman pleads with Occupy Oakland protestors to not burn an American flag found inside Oakland City Hall during an Occupy Oakland protest, Saturday, January 28, 2012, in Oakland, Calif. Police were in the process of arresting about 100 Occupy protesters for failing to disperse Saturday night, hours after officers used tear gas on a rowdy group of demonstrators who threw rocks and flares at them and tore down fences.

Hopefully the photos worked that time. Apologies.
Edited again to add the photographer's website. He is quite good, and a quick guess is that he is sympathetic to Occupy, so please, no casting asparagus upon him. http://beckdiefenbach.com/editorial/
