Occupy Wall Street on the Brooklyn Bridge
A quick update with some photos of Occupy Wall Street’s march on the Brooklyn Bridge from Saturday, October 1st.
A new addition – helium balloons were used to lift cameras above the protesters
Hanging from the balloons are cameras to get aerial shots of the protest march
As the march moves on to the Brooklyn Bridge, the sidewalks leading to the bridge are closed and traffic is blocked from pulling on to the bridge
Traffic is halted on the bridge by a group of protesters on the roadway ahead, and some protesters exit the bridge by walking back through traffic
Traffic is moved off the bridge and police vehicles are moved in
Farther ahead, protesters are netted in and arrests are made – video by SurvivalWithBushcraf on YouTube
The newly-printed Occupied Wall Street Journal was being handed out to onlookers, even drivers on the Brooklyn Bridge, to explain who the protesters were and what they hoped to accomplish
The result of Occupy Wall Street’s day on the bridge was hundreds of arrests, which are documented in the news reports below:
