Albany Police Defy New York Governor and Refuse to Arrest Protesters 
---------------------------------------------------------------------



In Albany, New York, protesters are continuing to camp across the street
from the New York State Capitol. On Sunday, local police refused to
remove the protesters from the park in defiance of Gov. Andrew Cuomo and
the city's mayor. One police official said: "These people were not
causing trouble. The bottom line is the police know policing, not the
governor and not the mayor."
