RIOT police moved into a Boston square yesterday, arresting about 100 people and breaking up a protest inspired by the Occupy Wall Street movement, the Boston Globe reported.
The newspaper said about 200 riot police surrounded the square shortly after midnight and ordered the protesters to disperse. When they refused, police moved in, shoved them to the ground, handcuffed them and dragged them off.
The protesters chanted: “The people united will never be defeated” and “this is a peaceful protest”.
Since the first group of activists camped out in New York, growing demonstrations have been held in several US cities to protest against corporate greed and Wall Street’s alleged stranglehold on politics. But more than three weeks into the 24-hour-a-day protests, the demonstrators resolutely refuse to name any concrete goal.
The occupywallst.org website states: “The one thing we all have in common is that we are the 99 percent that will no longer tolerate the greed and corruption of the 1 percent”.
