Clear that nobody knows where this is headed or how it will end. But crowd is jubilant. People filming from their SoHo apartments. #OWS

Crowd is moving south down Ave of the Americas, still in the street. Coming up on massive police build-up at Bedford, not being stopped.

Manhattan is insane right now. People are getting out of cabs to join the march. Protesters have taken Broadway for #OccupyOakland. #OWS

A well-dressed older man sticks his hand out of his fancy car, high fives protesters as they pass. #ows

Line of NYPD cars coming at protesters on 6th Ave. One marcher yells, "Don't be afraid." They keep moving, chanting, "Our streets." #ows

As the marchers arrive to Liberty Sq they chant, "We are unstoppable, another world is possible." #ows

As marchers move through the street on Broadway, a construction worker points, says, "The people united will never be defeated."

40-some NYPD officers in riot gear lined up two-by-two outside Liberty Park. #ows
just updated by Ryan Devereaux

Talking to a number of veterans and blue shirt officers about Scott Olsen. A lot of raw emotion on display here tonight.

When I asked how he felt upon hearing about Olsen's injury one blueshirt says, "It was heartbreaking."

One protester tells an officer that #OWS beef is with banks, not cops. Officer says, "I got no beef with you.

6. FDNY member now reading off the names of every police officer lost in 9/11 to NYPD riot police

FDNY member now reading off the names of every police officer lost in 9/11 to NYPD riot police lined up outside plaza. #OWS

He has fifteen pages.

An NY fire fighter, 9/11 first responder, is giving an impassioned speech to officers lined outside Liberty. "Come walk with us," he urges.

The FDNY member reminds the police that first responders died for people, for members of the community. #OWS
