Activists arrested during the Occupy Wall Street protests in New York City over the weekend have spoken out about the police crackdown. On Tuesday, the activists joined with other victims of police brutality for a march to police headquarters in Manhattan.

Jen Waller: “It is when we speak out against the 1 percent and defy them by fighting for public space that we are brutalized. On Saturday night as I simply sat in a park, I was violently arrested with my friends and watched as bloodthirsty cops stomped on their faces, knelt on their necks, pulled them by their hair, and slammed them into windows. I watched as one friend was treated as a battering ram as they carried him into an MTA bus, slamming his head on every step and seat as they went along. I watched as a young woman’s rib was broken, as she hyperventilated, convulsed and seizured in the middle of the street.”
