I just witnessed a mass arrest and police brutality. I was detained in a police barricade and threatened with arrest for standing on the sidewalk as a spectator. Not a single member of NYPD could justify their actions to me. It was a peaceful protest before the cops showed up. THEY escalated the protest into violence with their aggression and infringement of basic rights and I can confidently say that as a bystander who had no involvement in the planning or implementation of the protest. However, I will now work towards upholding the ideals and principles behind the Occupy Wall Street Protest. The protest successfully exposed how our freedom here in the US is an illusion.
