Hundreds of Occupy Wall Street protesters marched Saturday against alleged police brutality.
The crowd clashed repeatedly with cops as they marched from Zuccotti Park to Union Square, pushing to take to the street as the NYPD struggled to contain the demonstrators on the sidewalk.
Protesters called for the resignation of Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly and denounced incidents such as the fatal shooting of unarmed 18-year-old Ramarley Graham by police in the Bronx last month, as well as what they called a racially motivated stop-and-frisk policy.
Cops said 10 people were arrested. Witnesses said they included two young women who lay down in the middle of Lafayette St.
There are reports one of these is 15 years old and was dragged down the street ripping her blouse off. HEY! Just like they do in CAIRO! See NYPD can be as brutal as SCAF!
You can read more on march and view videos elsewhere. Meanwhile, Marni did not get arrested yesterday for cop costume. (Which she decided needed a poster to aid in understanding... Love the TP on Baton )
She did, however, get arrested last Saturday as a Butterfly Occupy Fairy!
Can't have that in New York City!
HERE SHE IS AS BUTTERFLY Sat before:
Her caption for this photo:
BORED BIASED BUSY BODY BLOWHARDS: Zucotti Park police giving me a summons for being a "Rollerblading Butterfly" in front of a deserted Zucotti Park on a lazy Saturday afternoon. My CRIME? Impeding pedestrian traffic with skates & wings...good to know that the good police of NYC are protecting the public from us DANGEROUS BUTTERFLIES and OUR tax payer money is being put to good use !
NOTE: Her Court date is May 23rd, 2012 at 9:30am,
346 Broadway, Summons Part AP-2.
She feels it is.
.completely ridiculous (and NOT in a good way) as OTHERS were also being harassed for a) writing on the sidewalk with chalk, b) giving protesters food, c) not walking in the "right" direction, etc.
I am hoping this will be shared with your NEW YORK friends and she will have plenty of support in Court! Hopefully, in costume, although the judge may feel that is in contempt of court. It wouldn't be... IT would be in CONTEMPT OF NYPD (No longer the 'Finest').
