Police Begin Clearing Zuccotti Park of Occupy Wall Street Protesters
The New York Police Department began clearing Zuccotti Park of Occupy Wall Street protesters about 1 a.m. Tuesday, telling the people there that the camp would be "cleared and restored" before the morning and that any demonstrator who did not leave would be arrested.
The protesters resisted with chants of "Whose park? Our park!" as the police began moving in and tearing down tents. The protesters rallied around an area known as "the kitchen" and began building barricades with tables and pieces of wood.
