Occupy Honolulu protestors arrested
Eight Occupy Honolulu protestors, three women and five men, were arrested yesterday (Nov. 5) evening at 11:30 p.m. from the sidewalk near Thomas Square Park in the corner of Beretania St. and Ward Ave.
More than 20 police officers gathered before arresting the protestors. Officers said that the arrest was for sitting on the grass after the park was closed. "Park is closed, if they refuse to leave then they get arrested," said one of the police officers.
Other protestors shouted "shame! shame! shame!" at the officers while they were arresting.
"I'm exercising my freedom of speech," a young woman, who was handcuffed and escorted by two officers said while she was taken to the car.
Thomas Square Park closes at 10 p.m.
The protestors were sitting half on the edge of the sidewalk touching the grass.
Other protestors said that the action by the Hawaii Police Department was "unnecessary." Some protestors burst into tears while police were arresting their fellow protestors.
"You are the 99 percent," protestors shouted at police officers while they were leaving.
More updates will come soon, keep following me.
