New York Daily News photographer Todd Maisel:

We certainly couldn’t start our walk across the bridge without a few arrests, so Councilman Jumanne Williams started things off by getting arrested with 98 other people. No resistance and it stayed peaceful. Members of United Together formed lines to keep people off roadways and led them to the Brooklyn Bridge walkway, on a beautiful evening for a walk across the bridge. Thousands flowed onto the bridge carrying signs and chanting. People from Occupy Wall Street shined a projector onto the Verizon Building with their slogans. Protestors cheered and were reinvigorated after a very long day of demonstrating. The walk up the bridge was colorful and crowded. At the top of the bridge, people were taking breaks and looking out onto the skyline. They were all heading to Brooklyn.

99 members of the 99 Percent arrested.
The NYPD must hate it when they give the movement their symbolism.
And yet, they do.
Occupy Wall Street.

Occupy Wall Street.

They want to tear down our country. We love and want to rebuild our country. That’s the difference.

Newt Gingrich on Occupy Wall Street

I think Newt is confused as to what side he’s on.

I hope Mayor Bloomberg is keenly aware that he’s held a press conference at which he went on about a cop who was injured — 20 stitches — after some protesters jostled with officers over a metal barricade, but has said nothing when peaceful protesters were maced, knocked to the ground by police scooters or punched at by angry whiteshirts. All of which has been documented on video, Mr. Mayor.

The more Michael Bloomberg tries to pick Occupy Wall Street apart, the more the people of New York will gather behind them.
