Protestors loaded into a paddy wagon for a sleepful protest outside of City Hall in NYC tonight. Cops evicted a small group of protesters, but then more people showed up and reclaimed the space. From Occupy Miami.

The cops then moved in,
surrounded those who were sitting/laying down in the larger group, and
did not give them a chance to leave before arresting them.
So far, #S17
has been marked by the NYPD's
characteristic snatch-and-grab techniques. Anyone, at any time, is
randomly pulled from the march and arrested. Reasons include: wearing a
bandanna, holding a sign, holding a banner, marching on sidewalk,
standing on sidewalk.
Mayor Bloomberg has snuffed our democracy in NYC.
