#OccupyWallStreet Protesters From Zuccotti Park Storm Church — Cops Pour In, Make Arrests – With Video
Tweet
The Blaze has confirmed that Occupy Wall Street protesters cut through a fence on a lot owned by Trinity Church, a major landowner in Manhattan. Earlier this morning, the New York Times reported:
The protesters had their eye on the church’s lot. In mid-morning, a delegation of protesters said they were trying to obtain permission from church officials to occupy the lot.
It was not clear how that negotiation went, but at 11 a.m. two protesters dressed in black, wearing black bandannas over the lower part of their faces, used bolt cutters to snip through the chain-link fence and the crowd began streaming in.
Below, see video of what appears to be a portion of the aforementioned negotiations between Trinity and the Occupiers. In the clip, you’ll also hear faith leaders speak about why they have joined the protest movement:
