Occupy Wall Street Movement Enters Eighth Week With Continued Arrests Around the Country 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The Occupy Wall Street encampment and protest movement has entered its
eighth week. Here in New York City, protesters will be hosting their
first spokescouncil meeting today — a development in the decision
making process for the movement. Meanwhile, police continue to crack
down on Occupy protesters across the country. In Florida, 13 people were
arrested on Sunday while attending a First Amendment teach-in in
Orlando. At least 24 people have been arrested over the last two days in
in Atlanta, Georgia, including five people early this morning. In
California, police arrested 11 protesters in Riverside while breaking up
the protest encampment.
