http://www.observer.com/2011/10/occupy-wall-streets-media-team-arrested-film-in-back-of-police-van-video/Included in the arrests tonight following the Occupy Wall Street’s Megamarch was the self-identified OWS “media team.” Uploaded 17 minutes ago from a YouTube account named OCCUPYWORLD, the video shows several young men in the back of a squad car, one of whom apparently remained un-cuffed.
It is unclear if all the men were even part of the protest. One of the men is outfitted in a nice suit and not looking like much of a threat to anyone. He recounts how, despite not resisting arrest, “three or for (policemen) threw me violently to the ground, my glasses nearly broke in half. They threw a baton on my back, as hard as they fucking could. I was on the sidewalk…I was just in the financial district.” He is then told to “Shut the fuck up,” as to apparently not raise police suspicions that a video was being taken in the back of a paddy wagon.
