Police Arrest Occupy Wall Street Protesters on the Brooklyn Bridge - October 1, 2011

Occupy Wall Street protestors marched from Liberty Plaza to the Brooklyn Bridge on the afternoon of Saturday, October 1, 2011. Blocked by the police from crossing the footpath, a large group of protestors chose the roadbed, which is reserved for cars. I was up on the pedestrian walkway, walking alongside the protest. The arrests seen in this video happened between around 4:30 and 5 p.m.

now i dont know where on the Brooklyn bridge they were (road or walkway) but to me it looks like there on the road so imma go with that....They are blocking the Brooklyn bridge to other people driving and it is the police's job to move them out of the way and let the drivers go through.
