Bryan Fitzgerald reports in the Times Union Occupy Albany returned Tues., May 1, for the first time since the city uprooted the group’s encampment on Academy Hill in December. Protesters were arrested throughout the day in the ongoing battle with law enforcement over shelter and an 11 p.m. curfew in Lafayette Park. Twenty protesters were arrested by State Police and charged after curfew; earlier in the day three participants were arrested for refusing to remove tables and other structures set up in the park. Attorneys for Occupy Albany deny a curfew exists. The leaderless, anti-corporate group began the rally with a march across city streets. With police blocking traffic in front of them, the protesters weaved down State Street, Pearl Street, Broadway and back to Lafayette Park, stopping at a Bank of America branch, a Verizon office, the State Education headquarters and the Greyhound bus station to shout anti-corporate chants.
