NEW YORK - Protesters speaking out against corporate greed and other grievances were maintaining a presence in Manhattan's Financial District Sunday even after more than 700 of them were arrested during a march on the Brooklyn Bridge in a tense confrontation with police.
The group Occupy Wall Street has been camped out in a plaza in Manhattan's Financial District for nearly two weeks staging various marches, and had orchestrated an impromptu trek to Brooklyn on Saturday afternoon. They walked in thick rows on the sidewalk up to the bridge, where some demonstrators spilled onto the roadway after being told to stay on the pedestrian pathway, police said.
Sounds like they were suckered by the police to walk onto the roadway and then arrested them.
ReplyDeleteIt was a planned attack by the police, and they have admitted to such.
LOL BS stupid people intentionally getting themselves arrested just to get press attention. Outstanding job by the police!
