“Occupy Wall Street” protesters will be on the move again starting this afternoon.
The group plans on marching to Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance Junior’s office for a rally demanding an investigation into what they call police brutality during the protests.
Hundreds of demonstrators have been arrested over the past month and are demanding a change in the New York City Police Department’s policies.
Protesters are also rallying against Sotheby’s auction house over a union dispute, and the group plans on holding a vigil at Lincoln Center tonight. The Granny Peace Brigade is protesting the the Koch brothers� involvement in the center and their funding of several Republican issues.
Jesse Jackson joined the demonstrators in Zuccotti Park, where they’ve camped for a month, and called the protest an extension of Martin Luther King Jr.�s last act in which he �occupied� the National Mall in Washington, DC.
�Too few have too much subsidized by the government. Too many have little neglected by the government, so priorities have to change,� said Jackson.
Organizers say the NYPD tried to disassemble their medical tent overnight but stopped when Jackson showed up.

They appear to be evolving into a fascistic mob
They certainly are a mob, and it seems time to make them go away. They don’t even know what they’re protesting – abi to protest.
