992 arrests connected to the Occupy Wall Street protests in NYC

October 19th, 2011

Occupy Wall Street is now entering it’s second month, and the campground in Liberty Plaza in Lower Manhattan is now a symbol in cities across the world of a new type of nonviolent civil disobedience.

So far, the New York City Police Department has made 992 arrests connected to the Occupy Wall Street protests. These arrests have cost the city $3.4 million in overtime for police officers.

The city is certainly facing litigation as a result of the Occupy Wall Street protests, which will also cost the city in both court costs and damages awarded.
