These individuals where attempting to make maryters of them selves. They where doing these actions to get attention, although they where breaking
the very laws the supposedly protect.

That appeared to be a walkway and not a road (I didn't watch the whole thing, just the money shot
, so I could be wrong). This was a peaceful
demonstration of the rights of assembly. People could easily walk around them with no hindrance whatsoever. This was a symbolic gesture of protest,
the best kind IMO, because nobody was getting hurt, nobody was being harassed, and nobody was being harmed.
Until the gestapo showed up. As another poster said, if the police wanted them out they could've used zip ties and carried them out. It's unlikely
anyone would've given a fight. This was a lovely example of the fascist police state we are headed for. I'm pro-police, but even I see the changes in
that direction. And it saddens me. I'm not a LEO, but my family is chock full of them, and the couple I've talked to hate this direction, too.
I'm not a supporter of OWS, but this was wrong and immoral. Those kids did nothing to be assaulted like that. Shame on those police.
