OccupyMaine "Mic Checks" Merrill Lynch

**CLICK BELOW FOR MORE DETAILS**

Be sure to stick around until 3:50, for a "when worlds collide" moment as OccupyMaine mic checks the Portland Police Department.

About 30 protesters from OccupyMaine read a speech at Merrill Lynch in Portland on Thursday. "While we fear for our future, Merrill Lynch has returned to business as usual," the protesters chanted.

The Portland Police Department responded and told the protesters they had to move to the sidewalk and stop beating drums. Protesters complied and continued to chant outside the bank for approximately a half hour. At one point, they thanked the PPD for being a model showing that Occupy groups and police forces don't have to fight.

The group later moved on to shorter chants and speeches outside Bank of America and TD Bank.
