'Occupy Wall Street' Protest Gets Ugly
September 26, 2011
The "Occupy Wall Street" protest, now in its second week, was marred by the arrest of about 80 demonstrators in lower Manhattan. The group, which is camped out in Zuccotti Park, a privately owned space near the NYSE, took their demonstration to Manhattan's Union Square, when issues arose with New York City Police.
While most demonstrators said they were protesting against bank bailouts and the mortgage crisis, some held signs decrying Georgia's execution of Troy Davis, who was put to death Wednesday for the 1989 slaying of an off-duty Savannah police officer. At Union Square, around 14th Street, police supposedly tried to corral the demonstrators using orange plastic netting.
Police say the arrests were mostly for blocking traffic. Charges include disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. But one demonstrator was charged with assaulting a police officer. Police say the officer involved suffered a shoulder injury. Some of the arrests were filmed and activists posted the videos online. One video appears to show officers using pepper spray on women who already had been cordoned off; another shows officers handcuffing a man after pulling him up off the ground, blood trickling down his face.
A spokesperson for the group criticized the police response as "exceedingly violent" and said the demonstrators sought to remain peaceful. [C-I Note: Things should get interesting if New York get's some wet weather, which is predicted.] [AP, 9/25/11]
