Day 4: At least five arrested, one may be in critical condition
Posted 2011-09-20 05:01:04 UTC by OccupyWallSt
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. One of the protesters received a large gash on their leg, another lost a tooth. Multiple police tackled a protester and sat on him as he continually warned them that he was experiencing an asthma attack. One of the medics on site informed the police that they needed to call an ambulance because this was a potentially fatal circumstance. They ignored him. We have no current information on this protester, but we hope that he hasn't been murdered by the police.
We are determined to remain a peaceful protest, in spite of the brutality we have witnessed.
Updates will be posted as we receive them.
Update #1 One of the altercations involved a Police Lieutenant pushing a protester without cause. When the protester objected, the Lieutenant pointed at him and three police officers tackled the man. |

If people want to demand anything I posted what to do. Remember Lloyd on court in those times when everyone was angry:

Well he is back to business and immediately the next day the stocks jumped because everyone in market knew that was he will come clean and was a big gov facade, now is forgotten. |
Yes because the gov't is controlled by Wall Street... why do i feel like we're on the same side? Those congressional inquiries were a joke for the exact reason these protests started - the dysfunctional relationship between the government and financial markets. |

That will go the same way it always gone and I'm same side with you, because problem is there is not a lot of people involved, finacial and economic awareness and info should be spread, should be more organized otherwise will be taken as a joke.

| I live a block from Wall St and wouldn't know this was going on if not for the sparse media coverage and excess of barricades all over the place. I haven't seen a single protestor. |

Mainstream media are purposely "blacking out" this event. |
