Livestream

Occupy Wall Street crowds presently marching in the nighttime streets of New York City with livestream coverage via Tim Pool reporting thousands outraged over the Florida police handling of a deadly shooting of an unarmed teenager, Trayvon Martin.  The identified killer has not been arrested. 

At the time of this posting, protesters were heard loudly chanting, "We are Trayvon Martin!"  and "Whose street?  Our street!"  Shortly before, marchers headed on to Brooklyn Bridge chanting, "Whose bridge?  Our bridge!"  NYPD followed them with paddy wagons, when the demonstration suddenly shifted direction and went another way.  Tim Pool reports that the protesters shifted directions several times very effectively as a unified large crowd, successfully eluding a number of attempted police interventions.



OWS also reports arrests at Union Square - where OWS appears to be relocating - with police telling demonstrators they are not allowed to have banners.

A couple of hundred energetic demonstrators marched yesterday as well, and via 1 Police Plaza, demanding Police Commissioner Brian Kelly's resignation, and in response to widespread incidents of police brutality and excessive force at the 6 Month Anniversary Celebration for OWS.

Also - Jason Leopold at Truthout is obtaining DHS documents on Occupy Wall Street the reporter previously requested through the Freedom of Information Act - still uploading now as the documents come in from the Department of Homeland Security.  Truthout is also seeking documents under the F.O.I.A. from the F.B.I. and N.Y.P.D.
