Another 20 arrested at Occupy Albany

Nov 15, 2011 12:48 am
Albany Times-Union reporter Cathleen Crowley reports, via Twitter, that another 20 protesters were arrested as state police enforce an 11 p.m. curfew late in the state-owned Lafayette Park. Just under 40 protesters were arrested late Saturday and Sunday, and Albany District Attorney David Soares says he will dismiss the trespass tickets. Albany County Republican Chairman Don Clarey is calling for Gov. Andrew Cuomo to supersede Soares. The State Police are being basically laughed at by the local DA,” he told Jimmy Vielkind in Capitol Confidential. “We have a curfew, we have a set of laws, and we should abide by it. I don’t favor beating anybody in the head, but I do favor enforcing the law.” Meanwhile, at Occupy Wall Street, police began clearing Zucotti Park for "cleaning." Many protesters were being arrested, and there are ongoing protests throughout Manhattan on Tuesday. Thursday, Nov. 17, is the two-month anniversary of Occupy Wall Street.
