Wall Street Protesters Back to NY’s Park
Hours after being evicted by the police, "Occupy Wall Street" protesters returned to Zuccotti Park on Wednesday without tents and sleeping bags.
Despite the fact that 200 protesters were arrested by New York police, hundreds of Occupy Wall Street protesters have returned to the financial district plaza they've used as a base of operations for the last two months.
Citing a court order issued Wednesday establishing their right to enter Zuccotti Park - which they describe as Liberty Square - the demonstrators marched on the plaza.
"We want our park now!" the protesters chanted, as the police directed them to keep moving along the sidewalk.
Many carried this morning's court order in their hands and often challenged police officers to respond to it.
Court battles raged throughout the day -resulting in the protesters being allowed to return to the park -only without gear such as backpacks and musical instruments.
Protesters repeatedly told the NYPD they were breaking the law by barring them from the park.
