Occupy movement in clashes with police - The Irish Times - Thu, Oct 27, 2011

Occupy movement in clashes with police - The Irish Times - Thu, Oct 27, 2011: "Local television station KTVU posted footage of a loud pop and flash, followed by a protester falling hard to the ground. The San Francisco Chronicle said protesters threw paint at the heads of riot policemen and chanted “This is why we call you pigs”. In Atlanta, which played a historic role in the civil rights movement, the African-American mayor Kassim Reed sent religious leaders to plead with protesters to leave a downtown park. When police arrived to make arrests after midnight, the protesters gathered in the centre of the park, linked arms and sang the civil rights-era hymn We Shall Overcome as they were led to buses."
