When they say,
"Protest group from New York
Occupy Wall Street is a protest movement against high profits in the
financial-services industry and economic inequality. It began with the
occupation of Zuccotti Park in lower Manhattan in September 2011"
The real reason should say 'take money from the rich and give it to those
that pay no federal income tax'.
BTW: How many Tea Party members were arrested? NONE!
How many OWS? Over 5000.
How many OWS pay federal income tax? Very few.
How many Tea Parters pay federal income tax? Most.Get a job!

On the six-month anniversary of
the Occupy Wall Street movement, protesters swarmed its birthplace
–Zuccotti Park – again sparking the cat-and-mouse clashes between New
York City police officers and demonstrators.
The
sweep of the park by police just before midnight capped a day of
demonstrations and marching in lower Manhattan. There was no official
word on the number of arrests but dozens of people were handcuffed and
led out of the park.
Earlier in the day, 15 people were arrested and three officers suffered injuries, police said.
An unused public transit bus was brought in to cart away about a dozen demonstrators in plastic handcuffs.
Anniversary: NYPD officers clash with members of the Occupy Wall St movement at Zuccotti park in New York last night
Several arrests: A bus was brought in to remove the arrested protesters
One female under arrest apparently
suffered a seizure and had difficulty breathing. She was taken away in
an ambulance to be treated.
For hours, the demonstrators had been
chanting and holding impromptu meetings in the park to celebrate the
anniversary of the movement that has brought attention to economic
inequality, as police mainly kept their distance.
But New York Police Det. Brian Sessa said the tipping point came when the protesters started breaking the park rules.
