.Wall Street Protesters Arrests Reported


It's interesting to read these reports of arrests in the Occupy Wall Street movement. the media splashes headlines and photographs as it there have been major clashes. Mean while, the reality is something quite different. As evidenced by the details of this report.
.Few arrests in New york and Denver Police have made roughly six arrests near the Occupy Wall Street protest in lower Manhattan after a few hundred people marched around the New York Stock Exchange. .

Meanwhile, in Denver, dozens of police officers in riot gear advanced early Friday on the last remaining cluster of Wall Street protesters at the state's Capitol. Some protesters retreated without resisting while other had been arrested. No immediate signs of violence were reported and the exact numbers of arrests were unclear.

Officers placed plastic ties around some protesters' wrists and one woman was carried away from the makeshift encampment. Authorities began taking down dozens of tents at around 3:30 a.m. Three hours later, officers advanced on a line of protesters who had locked arms around the remaining tents. Officers held their batons horizontally and nudged the protesters to break up the human chain.
 And in other news.
