#M17 - Occupy Wall Street photo album (90 photos) [https://www.flickr.com/photos/8862501@N06/sets/72157629611393637/with/6993097045/], archived version [archive.is/WrYw8]:
Our six-month anniversary started off so nicely, with a march around Wall Street and then people talking, dancing, and singing in the park. Then a great General Assembly.
Then the NYPD decided the park was closed. We sat down and soft-locked. They came in and brutally arrested many people. Those of us not arrested marched up to Union Square, suffering more brutal arrests along the way.
