Occupy Arrests Continue Nationwide 
-----------------------------------



Arrests continued on Monday with 11 people detained at Occupy protests
in Orlando and San Diego. The raids followed the weekend of arrests of
19 people in Portland and 16 people in Seattle. Around 100 protesters
are facing eviction from their encampment at Seattle Central Community
College after a judge ruled they can be displaced. Meanwhile in Los
Angeles, members of Occupy L.A. rallied at City Hall on Monday to
protest the raid on their encampment last week. And at the Occupy camp
in Washington, D.C. activists regrouped following the arrests of 31
people on Sunday.

Tizzy Giordano: "One of my friends was grabbed by the throat by a cop.
She has scratches and bruises on her throat. We have it on tape, I mean,
it's probably on You Tube by now. I mean, just that, watching your
friends get hurt is awful."

James Cullen: "If we get kicked out and arrested, we will either come
back or find another park. I think a lot of ... I think something really
inspiring about a lot of the other occupations is they get kicked out,
they get moved and they come back stronger."
