Peaceful Protestor Arrested, NYPD Refuses to Say On What Charges... #OccupyWallStreet

UPDATE: Please consider a suggested donation of $9.17 to our Media Fund to continue our reports from the front line. You can visit our page here: http://bit.ly/ol1rSy

On Saturday, September 24, 100+ peaceful protestors were arrested in downtown Manhattan. Young female protestors were penned on a public street by barricade, then maliciously maced as they exercised their First Amendment rights.

This video shows one protestor being escorted away after being placed in handcuffs. Uniformed NYPD officers refuse to state why he is being held and on what charges.

This movement can no longer be stopped. We are winning. But be advised, this will not be televised...

@badpanda84 hindsight is a wonderful thing. but unfortunately we have this debt and it is a problem, and the banks are compounding that problem.

I heard something the other day. Americans bought a record number of guns last year. 3 million in December alone. with the number one reason being that they don't trust the government and the second reason that they believe there is going to be a financial melt down.

simply put the problem is real, and that's why I don't put down the occupy movement

@jsheppard001 The question is why have you got all this debt.

China has no debt -- and it has no welfare ( as it is impossible to provide welfare for 2 billion people)

If you really want to get rid of debt people are going to make scarfices--

and alot of people are not prepared to do that

that is the problem -- and no amount of protesting is going to solve that

@badpanda84 I have a house, a job and have never claimed a penny in benefits in my 38 years of existence. so I cant be classed as one of those "hippies".

The fact still remains that the banks have tied us up with so much debt that it will take generations to pay off. In fact every man, woman and child's share of the US debt is now around $48,000.00. (Nice legacy to leave ours kids)

That fact alone should be enough to take to the streets in anger...!

@jsheppard001 "These banks all over the world have royally screwed us. "

Really but regardless of wheather they have screwed you or not -- it still dosent stop people from owning a house.

Not having a job will stop you from owning a house -- not the banks

[jsheppard001]

@badpanda84 Come on mate. Even if you have the house and 2.4 kids you have to know that things are not right. What future do you want your children and their children to have. These banks all over the world have royally screwed us. Just dig a little deeper, the rot is pretty close to the surface.

@jsheppard001 "but if you listen to the bits of info you can build up your own picture."

And the picture we see is a bunch of hippies who cant be bothered finding jobs and have nothing better to do that whinge about whatever it is that they are complainint about

[jsheppard001]

@badpanda84 You have a point, but I think that as there is no clear leadership there will be no clear message. but if you listen to the bits of info you can build up your own picture. and if you cant see the bigger picture when everyone else can you need to ask yourself why.

[badpanda84]

@jsheppard001 "Our governments have stopped listening to us. So no it time to occupy and make them take notice"

Has it occured to you that is because these protestors have nothing worthwhile to say..

[badpanda84]

@valdie91285 "If this kid is truly being arrested for a crime, then I'm positive he knows it"

Regardless the cops could pretty much arrest anyone at the protest for disorderly conduct ( and rightly so) --

But you are correct -- the police are under no obligation to tell any 3rd party the reason he was arrested--

Those cops look like they might need to take a fitness test.

Just sayin'
