After more than 700 individuals were arrested on Saturday for protesting on the Brooklyn Bridge, most of them are now free with citations for disorderly conduct and criminal court summons. Fewer then 20 detained, unidentified prisoners are expected to appear in criminal court on Sunday. Most of the protesters were arrested for disorderly conduct and blocking traffic, although protesters accused police of not issuing warnings on the roadway. Police denied this comment. For more than two weeks, the Occupy Wall Street group camped in Manhattans financial district. These protesters see no stop to their campaigning, with meetings on Sunday in a local, privately owned park that they have occupied since September 17. This isn't the first time that this group of protesters have had run-ins with NYC police.
