Occupy Zuccotti arrests

A solitary Occupy Wall Street protester holds a sign outside a nearly empty Zuccotti Park during the early morning hours, Wednesday, Nov. 16, 2011, in New York. Crackdowns against the Occupy Wall Street encampments across the country reached the epicenter of the movement Tuesday, when police rousted protesters from the park and a judge ruled that their free speech rights do not extend to pitching a tent and setting up camp for months at a time.
