Today’s
protest was Occupy’s one year anniversary and as usual, the police showed up to
arrest those who defied the law. People shouted “the whole world is watching,”
but for the most part, the police just didn’t care. There is a new arrogance of
the US
The
fact that they could get 1,000 people out today shows they still have some
supporters even if this movement has lost some of its numbers from last year.
The Occupy institutions are here to stay and the US
According
to Rueters;
"A lot of media is saying that
Occupy is dying down, but I think the fact that over 100 people were arrested
this morning shows that Occupy is still part of the conversation," said
one protester, Caleb Maupin, 24, of Queens."We've been locked out, people my age don't have much chance of getting a job, so we have to do something to get people's attention," Maupin said.
