NEW YORK (The Blaze/AP) — About 80 people were arrested Saturday as demonstrators who were camped out near the New York Stock Exchange marched through lower Manhattan, police said.

The “Occupy Wall Street” protest is entering its second week. Demonstrators said Saturday they were protesting against bank bailouts and the mortgage crisis; some also held signs decrying Georgia’s execution of Troy Davis, who was put to death Wednesday for the 1989 slaying of an off-duty Savannah police officer.

At Manhattan’s Union Square, police tried to corral the demonstrators using orange plastic netting. Some of the arrests were filmed and activists posted the videos online. One video appears to show officers using pepper spray on women who already were cordoned off; another shows officers handcuffing a man after pulling him up off the ground, blood trickling down his face.

Police say the arrests were mostly for blocking traffic. Charges include disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. But one demonstrator was charged with assaulting a police officer. Police say the officer involved suffered a shoulder injury.

Protest spokesman Patrick Bruner criticized the police response as “exceedingly violent” and said the demonstrators sought to remain peaceful.

A police spokesman had no comment about the videos or the arrests.

    Of course they are falsely making these claims, its in their instructions on how to react when the police come to arrest them, they are to drop on the ground, not walk or stand, to flail, scream, complain that their cuffs are too tight, they are sick, can’t breathe… to make any and all commotion possible, then to give out their names for some bogus defense lawyer group to jump to their behalf to sue the police and city… its my hope that whomever and whatever law firm that is stupid enough to help these dirtbags loses their bar and they in turn are sued by the city.

Libs complaining that they’re losing their free ride, and cops doing what they enjoy, beating the hell out of defenseless people. So, I just sit here and watch it, since they force me to pay taxes that pay for both sides.

      Indeed, they will use any staged event — as you said, being told how to respond to the police — for the furthering of their own agenda. These events will only grow in co-ordination, control, and violence on the part of the protesters…until finally they get what they want, and that is complete chaos in the system enabling the administration to come down in force upon ALL of us.

      Expect more and more morons like Michael Moore to make their threats of force against bankers and the communities; more pressure on the police and people with greater usage of force, and the like up to the elections.

      Before then though, I say the chances are high for Mr Obama to up and declare martial law.

      There is definitly one other thing to consider watching for as well; a scenario where some state leader calls up their national guard units for riot duty to protect key state government locations, and then orders them to fire upon the protesters — giving them exactly what they want.

      This looks like a rerun of the 60′s hippies. Do any of these people even work? Love their hero Chi, the mass murderer. Sure they want Socialism, then they can continue to not work and live off the fruits of other’s labor. Obama has a very impressive following, the lazy, low life of America. We really do need a president who will elevate the masses to live for higher goals and restore America. Of course that makes me a racist who wants to hang blacks and take the vote away from women. This has gotten to be so stupid it is hard to believe it is happening in America. This president is dangerous.

      Did you guys not see what they were doing? Yes they want Socialism, but they were also protesting against the BIG Bank Bailouts. The bailouts were just another tax on everyone. It was a way to let the banks run up the tab, so their owners (the Federal Reserve) could erase the debt to themselves, by using an eraser on the fake checkbook. They used the Government money, which was loaned at interest (again) from the Fed, so they get to start collecting interest on it again. So they erase what they owed, then started charging the American people for it to start over again. Whether youre a socialist or a conservative, or a capitalist, this is going to destroy our country. Atleast they were trying to stop it, even if theyre belief system is wrong…what are you doing?

      Way to go NYPD!!!! The only way to teach these freaks to crawl back into the holes they came from, is to cave their heads in……The creeping political correctness that has developed in this nation, along with the decay of religion and morality is what has allowed abominations like these people to be created and fester…..and it’s time to rid ourselves of such worthless people.

      I spent years serving this country and was twice wounded in doing it. I was proud to protect the upright, moral, hardworking and honest citizens, but it also bothered me that in I was also obligated to protect wothless freaks like these people. It’s difficult to risk your life to protect a group of “people” that you know would not only refuse to help if you were laying in a ditch dying, but would probably laugh at you as well. This country is having its back broken by supporting and tolerating the worthless, lazy and immoral people who are also coincidentally the ones supporting the Communists and radicals in our govt that are attempting to destroy and enslave us.

      Time to cull the herd……..

Some here are begging for a stiffer crack down, a culling of the herd…listen to what you are saying. Just stop the madness will end in the rise of th epolice state. Is that what you all really want? Of course not, so stop demanding the things you making here at the Blaze because you are being a useful tool for the government.

    I reviewed the video of the women getting a pepper spray over and over using click/pause (I wish Youtube had slow motion) and it looks like the officer that sprayed them was in light colored uniform while the officers setting up the pen where all wearing dark uniforms. The interesting thing was that the light clothed officer and some partners walked up to the pen from the crowd, sprayed the women and walked away. It almost looks like a set up. I wonder if it was even pepper spray…

      As I said, they were dressed in uniform, but were not part of the group of officers working the pen. If you watch closely they walk up, spray and then walk away in to the crowd. I just think that is suspicious behavior. It makes me wonder if they were truly cops or people with fake uniforms or what. It could be real cops or and act. I’m just saying…

I wouldn’t put ANYTHING past the Left: it’s all about “winning” – the ends justify the means. The Lefty philosophy. Also note how Soros put money into “media” groups. It’s all about publicity.

      The guys in the white shirts are gold shield officers. In some departments gold shields are Sergeant and higher. In others, Lieutenant and higher. Take a look at the first still photo. It shows a gold shield Lieutenant in a white shirt and a service hat with gold emblems.

      No conspiracy. Just gold shields mucking around. The penned protesters didn’t need to be pepper sprayed.

      In the 3rd video segment, the officer used a classic takedown hold used on unarmed aggressive indviduals. My problem is the video didn’t show a reason to take the kid down. The cause may have been before the beginning of the shot.

    2) make a resume.
    3) stop smoking pot
    4) stop other drug use
    5) look for a job (after they get off the drugs)
    6) stop believing in fasle social heirarchies (Marxism)
    7) help out others in REAL need
    8) thank the police officers for keeping them safe at night
    9) read more

    By Tim Powers: Consider if you will,an 18 year old boy buying his first car. He was told at the time of purchase that the engine was questionable. He decides to spend what money he has on an expensive stereo,17 inch tires with spinners,and new custom paint. A week later,he blows the engine. Only problem is,he has spent all of his money on the things that he really didn’t need….now he’s walking. Now,consider Senator Harry Reid. America has suffered much devastation due to hurricanes,floods,earth quakes,and wild fires in recent months. The house of Representatives has passed a bill to add more funds to FEMA. They have decided that adding to our debt is not an option. Instead,they intended to use money from the green energy initiative which according to those in Washington,is not “ready for prime time” ie: Solyndra.Once again,Harry has decided that the bill sent to him by the house is “dead on arrival”. So,while Harry Reid continues to purchase the things that America really can’t afford right now,America’s economic engine is about ready to blow. The problem is,Harry won’t be the one walking. We,the American taxpayers will. Comments welcome

We have become a society based on government mandated regs that came about because we lack personal responsibility and also because of the rise of the ambulance chasing lawyers in this country. When morals go away, the laws must be increased to deal with what is tunring towards anarchy. Our police forces have turned into small Armies esp LA. Why? Because America is no longer good! American can no longer govern its self as we at the individual level have lost any sense of what is right and what is wrong. So as a result, the society is crumbling, social welfare has risen and because of these things we have ushered in and era in which a liberal such as BHO can be elected.
