Occupy Wall Street protestors marched from Liberty Plaza to the Brooklyn Bridge on the afternoon of Saturday, October 1, 2011. Blocked by the police from crossing the footpath, a large group of protestors chose the roadbed, which is reserved for cars. I was up on the pedestrian walkway, walking alongside the protest. The arrests seen in this video happened between around 4:30 and 5 p.m.

Two shorter clips from this video are available here:

1. The cops really do look like pigs! Fascist pigs! n/t

2. Again, what have those thugs in the white shirts ever done

to advance our world?

3. Little IMO. Cops have become slugs carrying out the commands of the Oligarchy. Their

objective is to round up and punish the peasants who dare speak out against the Oligarchy, and to send a message to the masses, you have no right to peacefully protest in this country, so STFU and be peasants.

15. Chicago, August, 1968

The whole world was watching and it is again. Where are those freedoms "they" hate us for?
The First Amendment guarantees the right to free assembly and to petition the government. Since the government is ignoring its responsibility to the people by letting Wall Street call the shots and write the laws, and does so because Wall Street hands out bribes, the People are well within their rights to exercise First Amendment guarantees. The police are lawless. The United States government has become a moral disgrace, resorting to terror tactics against its citizens. The whole world is watching.
The Internet and digital technology has weakened the corporate propaganda. They no longer control the horizontal and vertical.
We want redress for crimes committed against the American working class by Wall Street shysters.
Elliot Spitzer for Attorney General.

protesters dressed in wet suits that were slathered in baby oil.
