7. Apparently they cornened them and then maced them.
Now it looks like they are surrounding Liberty Square. I guess they got their orders to put an end to all of this

And those freedoms are now circling, circling, circling ...

12. Bumping for visibility. This is just beginning in this country -
it will get much worse before it gets better. But remember - there are many more of us than them.

15. I wish I could KICK this 10 million times, I'm so sick of these militant type "public servants."
Go to hell NYPD, you are no heroes of the working class, but I'm sure that wall street and the corporations think you are just great Macing two peaceful female protesters. Keep it up and you will help the situation to blow up big time.

16. Photoanalysis of the perpetrators.
Two white-shirts approach from the middle of the street, one with a raised arm
as if to declare the protesters should not be doing something:


The right whiteshirt has a can of mace/pepperspray (?) raised almost immediately,
and unloads it without hesitation. No one could have done anything to deserve that
in the time it took them to approach, unless they were attacking people with
cameras turned at them:


This is the whiteshirt who maced them. He immediately turns and leaves to the right,
perhaps putting the mace in his shirt pocket.
Someone with NCIS detail-enhancing software will have to clean this up:


Do yourself a favor and download the photos or take a screenshot of this page in case
things disappear. I note that on youtube, the view count of this video is "stuck" at 304,
all day long. Comments are mocking this.

20. Thank you FWWM! Great job on that.
One guy shouts, the other guy does the spraying- both walk off in different directions.
