In news from the streets of New York, police are now saying that they arrested around 1,100 people on Tuesday during mass direct action protests. This brings the total arrested to over 1800 over the past week. By comparison, about 600 people were arrested during the historic 1968 Democratic convention in Chicago. The National Lawyers Guild estimates 900 people remain in jail. Yesterday a dozen members of ACT-UP New York were arrested inside Madison Square Garden after they disrupted a presentation by White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card. Two members of Code Pink were later arrested during Vice President Dick Cheney’s speech. The day began when thousands of demonstrators formed a three-mile long symbolic unemployment line that stretched from Wall Street to Madison Square Garden.
