At 01h00 on 15 November, the Occupy Wall Street encampment was dismantled in a violent raid by the police. The Democracy Now team rushed down to Zuccotti Park in the middle of the night to report on the police crackdown. They were there until the early hours of the morning, witnessing the arrests in the streets in Lower Manhattan, the dismantling of the encampment — and the hauling away of protesters’ belongings.
The raid comes just two days before, November 17, which marks the beginning of the third month of the OWS movement when a massive rally is being planned.
