Debra Sweet, an organizer of the Occupy Wall Street (OWS) movement, has been arrested by New York police, just minutes before her interview with Press TV news channel.
On Friday, about 30 anti-corporate protesters, including Debra Sweet, were arrested after they demonstrated in front of a local police precinct house.
The campaign's organizer Sweet was detained only minutes before her scheduled interview with Press TV.
"The US government does not represent people's interests. All of these decisions that are happening, the huge amount of US wealth that's poured into these occupations in Afghanistan and Iraq was never chosen by anyone in this country, but the people who run it," Sweet had said in an earlier interview with Press TV.
Also, more than 20 anti-corporate protesters were arrested in Cincinnati, Ohio, where they had been camping out at a park for nearly two weeks.
The Occupy Wall Street movement, which began in New York in September, has galvanized Americans who are against corporate greed and the influence of corporate money in politics into action.
I often wonder why perfectly good men & women who swear to protect their fellow citizens and neighbours,suddenly change from being a police `man women`. When the promise of a reasonable salary and another false promise of a secure future pension will cloud their judgement into becoming a ` police `Officer` at which point they will serve and protect only the hand that feeds. Where does the human part exist in your actions that prompts you to snitch on your fellow neighbour. These protesters are serving to help protect your future pensions, and your Wall St guys are just paying for your services on an ongoing monthly basis until you are no longer needed . Please wake up ! all of you `zombie `police officers, and once again become a policeman or a policewomen to help protect and serve with pride dignity and a sense of fair play to your fellow neighbours, because you are sadly missed by the 95% of decent humans.
