Police officers arrest protesters affiliated with the Occupy Wall Street movement at the intersection of Exchange Place and Beaver Street in the Financial District on November 17, 2011 in New York City.
The US police have arrested over 5,800 anti-Wall Street protesters since the beginning of the anti-capitalism movement in September last year.
According to the website occupy-arrests.com, at least 5,748 occupy protesters were arrested till December 31, 2011. Another 68 demonstrators were detained in New York City’s Zuccotti Park on Saturday night.
The Saturday arrests were made as protesters staged a New Year’s Eve demonstration in the city.
Meanwhile, footage has emerged showing anti-Wall Street protesters in Charlotte, North Carolina, burning two US flags. Four protesters were arrested after the burning of the flags on Friday afternoon.
The Occupy Wall Street movement began when a group of demonstrators gathered in New York’s financial district on September 17 to protest against the unjust distribution of wealth in the country and the excessive influence of big corporations on US policies.
The protest movement gave voice to outcries and grievances of people against poverty, unemployment, war, and corporatism.

Instead of working for abetter life ,educating them selfs and living with in there means ,they want to stay fucked up on something and take whats not theres,we basicly ran them out of panama city florida and let them know how stupid they realy where.Just go and hang around one of protest and see for your self what kind of idiots these are,you will see drug use, idots pissing in the street sex with out remorise and people chanting like crazy muslums and jews for things they cant possibly have .
These kids and idots want every thing for free with out having to work for it and tha my friends is socalisum, and in america this shit dosent work
The one percent give the 99% our jobs and with out them we dont work,and if you want a better life earn it for your self and stop trying to take what not yours
This is our fault for allowing our kids to be taught by libril teachers whom hate freedom and love socalisam,I took my kids out of the public school system and taught them right from wrong and then let them finish highschool with ther friends once they new how see the effects of socalisam vs. Capitalisam
Just look at that idiot presidenr ,the obamanator he was taught by such people and look what he has done to our freedom in this country
We as parrents and citizens of this country should go down to these protest and take our bealts off and beat the living shit out of these kids and misguided adults and break up these protesrers ,
Obama has to go ,so we can save our country with out a civil war,the last time civil war happend thousands died over states rights and not slavery.This time we will be fighting for our freedom,the way we did in 1776 ,and belive it or not if obama wins you will probly see just that.I live here in america and i here things of now being whisperd.remember only12% fought the revoltionary war of1776 and we won.
