Arbitrary arrest of Glenn Daniels Jr at Occupy Wall Street march in Union Square

As you can see at around 0:30, a young man in a red shirt, Glenn Daniels Jr, is walking near the sidewalk with hundreds of other protestors. The crowd was attempting to cross the street to continue the march south down Broadway from Union Square. Daniels is peacefully walking with a water bottle, not committing any crime. At 0:35 he is approached by an NYPD officer and pushed towards the sidewalk. At 0:38 a senior police officer in a white shirt quickly approaches and grabs Daniels and another young man with a beard and backpack. The lighter skinned man is let go, but Daniels is arrested. The remainder of the video shows NYPD officers cuffing and detaining Daniels.

If this Continues The NYPD Will draw Blood first and then the citizens will uprise... they have done this stuff in other countries to make an Example that they are the power only when you push and shove you can exert your power... I am saying right now the only way to push to push the other side is to make a human chain leak against the tyrants and to show them who is the real power the NYPD are few and you are many show them your power in number... and OCCUPY WALL STREET my Fellow Americans...

@ZILLADROID Hey ass I served my country these faggots aren't patriots they are socialist scum. The funny thing is you have no balls except on youtube. Why don't you question my Patriotism to my face??? I'll show you what I learned in the Marines. These protesters are scum who are looking for handouts and attention. I guess their parents didn't like have 25 year babies living in their homes either. Guaranteed these people are mostly homeless and freeloaders. Modern day hippies. Major Fail

@USMC1999to2003 It's funny you give yourself a name with military initials in it. And you mock your brothers and sisters efforts at protesting. Patriot you are NOT!

Bloomberg is part of the problem. When he first became mayor, he was worth 8 billion $. Now he is worth 19.5 billion. That's all our citys money!!!! And he is the one sending out nypd to mass arrest and abuse us to get summonses issued and make him some more money. I see no difference between Bloomberg and Hitler.

i was there. cops were telling everhone off of the street.  his buddy tried to cross the street and this guy in the red shirt confronted the cop. well his buddy backed down and they pushed him back to the curb, but glen got cuffed. don't talk sh!t when you are breaking the law. weren't supposed to be blocking traffic by walking down the street w/o a permit. they weren't arresting anyone so long as you didn't stop the flow of pedestrian and vehicular traffic.
