NYPD arrests at #OCCUPYWALLSTREET protest - Tuesday 20 September
Details are still somewhat unclear, but it appears that several more OWS occupiers were arrested this morning as police stormed the camp and began to dismantle the tarps and tents that were erected in an attempt to shield occupiers from the oncoming rain. This video demonstrates a marked increase in the police department’s aggression in this latest encounter.
According to reports, at least one occupier was injured when they were slammed down on the sidewalk, breaking their teeth.
We are monitoring the feeds and will keep you up-to-date with the situation as we get the news.
UPDATE: The media centre at the camp sends the following message via FB:
“We are vulnerable now. We need more bodies and more lawyers now. Deep concern that the police may attempt to remove us. Please spread the word now…”

Vincent, I'm in the metropolitan area and you're right that they're hardly talking about this on the news.

Day 4: At least five arrested, one may be in critical condition
Posted 2011-09-20 05:01:04 UTC by OccupyWallSt
Early this morning at least five protesters were arrested by NYPD.
The first arrest was a protester who objected to the police removing a tarp that was protecting our media equipment from the rain. The police said that the tarp constituted a tent, in spite of it not being a habitat in any way. Police continued pressuring protesters with extralegal tactics, saying that a protester on a bullhorn was breaking a law. The protester refused to cease exercising his first amendment rights and was also arrested. Then the police began to indiscriminately attempt to arrest protesters, many of them unsheathed their batons, in spite of the fact that the protest remained peaceful. One of the protesters received a large gash on their leg, another lost a tooth. Multiple police tackled a protester and sat on him as he continually warned them that he was experiencing an asthma attack. One of the medics on site informed the police that they needed to call an ambulance because this was a potentially fatal circumstance. They ignored him. We have no current information on this protester, but we hope that he hasn't been murdered by the police.
