Wall Street Protesters Voice Police Brutality Claims Uptown


“Occupy Wall Street” protesters will be on the move again starting this afternoon.

The group plans on marching to Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance Junior’s office for a rally demanding an investigation into what they call police brutality during the protests.

Hundreds of demonstrators have been arrested over the past month and are demanding a change in the New York City Police Department’s policies.

Protesters are also rallying against Sotheby’s auction house over a union dispute, and the group plans on holding a vigil at Lincoln Center tonight. The Granny Peace Brigade is protesting the the Koch brothers’ involvement in the center and their funding of several Republican issues.

Jesse Jackson joined the demonstrators in Zuccotti Park, where they’ve camped for a month, and called the protest an extension of Martin Luther King Jr.’s last act in which he “occupied” the National Mall in Washington, DC.

“Too few have too much subsidized by the government. Too many have little neglected by the government, so priorities have to change,” said Jackson.

Organizers say the NYPD tried to disassemble their medical tent overnight but stopped when Jackson showed up.

  1. They certainly are a mob, and it seems time to make them go away. They don’t even know what they’re protesting – abi to protest.
