[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 887819, member: 12952"] Police arrest 100 in Occupy Boston sweep Defiant Occupy Boston protesters were arrested and charged with unlawful assembly and being in a public park after hours in a massive, early morning crackdown at the protest group’s second tent city on the Rose Kennedy Greenway. “The group that was here for the first ten days was working very closely with us,” Boston Police Commissioner Edward Davis said, “but they warned us yesterday morning that a new group, the anarchists, wanted to take control.” Boston police and Mayor Thomas M. Menino asked the leaderless group, which is rallying for a more equitable tax structure in the U.S., to leave that second site by midnight. Police said the park’s patrons had just spent $150,000 to spruce it up. Protesters refused to move. As midnight came and went, the 300 occupied stayed there, chanting, singing and delighting in their staying power. “Mayor Menino told us to leave by midnight,” one of the occupiers shouted as the rest of the group cheered. “It’s 1 a.m, and we’re still here.” The protesters tents and personal belongings were also tossed into the trash during the sweep that kicked off at about 1:30 a.m. and included about 100 arrests.
