Early this morning at least five protesters were arrested by NYPD.
The first arrest was a protester who objected to the police removing a
tarp that was protecting our media equipment from the rain. The police
said that the tarp constituted a tent, in spite of it not being a
habitat in any way. Police continued pressuring protesters with
extralegal tactics, saying that a protester on a bullhorn was breaking a
law. The protester refused to cease exercising his first amendment
rights and was also arrested. Then the police began to indiscriminately
attempt to arrest protesters, many of them unsheathed their batons, in
spite of the fact that the protest remained peaceful.
The new residents of Liberty Square continued to serve as shining
examples of law abiding behavior in spite of police harassment and the
loose interpretation and selective enforcement of New York’s laws by the
NYPD.
