Mayor Micheal Bloomberg says, four protesters were arrested for having more than two masked individuals in one space. NY state law prohibits no more than two masked protesters at any one time during a protest. Aside from those four individuals, Bloomberg also went on to say that one Anonymous protester was arrest for jumping a police barrier, and two other protesters were arrested for walking into Bank Of America with there masks still on.
Anonymous is a group of individuals who congregate through various websites and meetings to form an assembly to protest against issues they feel are being over looked.
According to the New York Times,instead of being arrested for jumping a barricade, the protester was arrested after saying he was having difficulty moving when the deputy inspector ordered him to "keep moving".
The injustice and focus that was being placed from the media onto the arrest being made and not the actual issue at hand is outrageous! When looking for research and articles about the protest itself and the reasons this group decided to organize on wall street I found little to no facts about the reason the protest was going on rather and many articles and videos about the protesters being detained by the cops.
