this came last night from my long-time neighbor in Cazadero:

This is breaking. I will try and put more info up shortly.

But right now there is a stand-off on Wall Street between the Occupiers backed by the Federal Park Police and the NYPD.

For a week Occupiers have camped out on the steps of Federal Hall, location of the authoring of the Bill of Rights, after NYPD prohibited them from sleeping on the streets adjacent to the Stock Exchange contrary to standing judicial rulings about sleeping as a means of protest.

The NYPD has shut down Wall Street and barricaded 25 Occupiers on the steps as the two police forces stand-off against one another over the right to peaceably assemble and exercise 1st amendment speech rights.
