Over 700 anti-Wall Street protesters were arrested Saturday on the Brooklyn Bridge by the New York Police Department...The mass arrests mark a major escalation in police intimidation tactics. It came on the heels of acts of police brutality, such as the pepper-spraying of unresisting demonstrators and the arrest of over 80 marchers last weekend, which have sparked widespread anger and resulted in the swelling of the protest’s ranks.
