Tim reporting unmarked police cars - The police had let the protesters in earlier. Tim reports it was due to one person that was "kicking" the barricades. Tim was told 8 cops jumped the guy and tore some of his clothes and shoes off and hit him in the head with a police baton (this may or may not be true: will be verified later with video of incident later).

Update: Allowed back in park at 2:10 pm est. Protesters allowed in and out now.

[tridim]

What country is this again?

[piratefish08]

10. theyre lining up paddy wagons......

President Obama? Hello?

27. i just talked to him he's looking for his comfortable shoes. he says he'll be right there

[Rex]

8. So what is next? Rounding up people for mass arrests?

Sure is looking that way.

[Fire Walk With Me]

36. They did it last time at the Brooklyn Bridge. They were waiting en mass, they were already there

and lured protesters right into the trap.

NYPD are moneypuppets. They are criminal.

[backtoblue]

41. just heard the crowd

mention marching to the brooklyn bridge at 3:00

[Rex]

52. Turned into goon squads imo.

Working for the 1% really must suck, since all cops have to know that THEY are next on the chopping block...goodbye pensions and when it happens I don't WANT TO HEAR THE WHINING! We are fighing for ALL the 99% and the COPS are just as much 99% as the people they violate.

Stupid, but lapdogs often follow any order, even unlawful ones.

9. If you're being detained, they have to tell you why.

If they are not going to arrest and charge you, they cannot detain you.

[EFerrari]

15. In practice, that isn't true.

They can detain you. They hold you like a sack of garbage as long as they want and then, in exchange for processing you out, they have you sign a slip saying you were not arrested, only detained.

[Rex]

20. Not true since the passage of the Patriot Act.

THAT was what Cheney and his evil asshole cronies meant when they said, '9/11 changed everything'. They really meant that you should give up 'some' of your rights to 'feel safer'. And we did.

[StandingInLeftField]

34. Unless they detain you anyway.

My tears are meaningless...How the hell is this happening to these people?

[texanwitch]

13. The shit is hitting the fan now guys.

I am not surprised in the least.

The people in power can't let this go much longer.

I am so proud of the protestors in New York.

Fuck the cops.

16. KETTLING

Sigh.

17. Most Americans don't understand how much they have lost

but hopefully they start to see the truth through the web.

[flamingdem]

18. On MSNBC right now protester with his head cracked and blood spilling down his face

So many powerful images - what will this mean long term I wonder

[slay]

19. Cops won't even say why they are doing this - blocking sidewalks as well

1:1 police to protester ratio estimated! it's like a military!

[grasswire]

22. some think they are trying to prevent bridge action at 3 p.m.

some comments indicate that possibility

[slay]

40. How long will NY be willing to accept a police state?

i say go back every fucking day - make the cops show up every fucking day. they want to dress up in riot suits for a war - lets give them one - a peaceful, non-violent one of course.

[backtoblue]

21. Holy shit!

What the hell is happening???

[Harmony Blue]

24. The truth is coming out

sorry but the signs were there for a long time sadly.

[Brickbat]

33. They are being allowed in and out, according to that livestream report at 2:09 est.

[dionysus]

35. they got the guy who was kicking the barricades earlier...

[dtexdem]

37. Are they going to rename it Tyrrany Plaza?

Or maybe Police State Plaza?

[grasswire]

38. reportedly the guy with the bloodied head was guilty of KICKING the barricades

He kicked the barricades and laughed about it, say witnesses.

[Luminous Animal]

39. Certainly, THAT deserves a beating.

Not confirmed but via twitter, the cops also stripped off his shoes and pants.

[grasswire]

48. Brandon Watts may be the young man hit in the head by NYPD today-

Found this talks about Brandon from Romania:

Occupy Wall Street Protesters Ask: What Next? November 16, 2011 12:10pm


...Brandon Watts, 20, whose eyes were bloodshot after spending the night at a nearby McDonalds, said he thought the days of Occupy Wall Street at Zuccotti Park were numbered.

“It’s all done here. I think I’m going to go to DC to protest,” Watts said. “I’m very tired and cold now. We’re not going to survive the winter with this situation.”

“Some of us want to fight to have the tents back. But it’s not going to work,” added Watts, who came from the States from Romania 11 years ago. “Maybe we'll find another spot.”
