Here in New York, Occupy Wall Street protesters attempted to reclaim Zuccotti Park, which they named Liberty Square, on Saturday six months after the first Occupy protest occurred. After hundreds gathered peacefully, police used force to clear the park on Saturday night.
Occupy Wall Street Protester: “The police then began to use the barricades, holding it chest high, pushing people back, beating them back out of the park, off of the sidewalks, and then pushed them back across the street onto this sidewalk, pushing people down in the process, hitting them in the face.”
At least 73 Occupy protesters were arrested.
