Permit Requirement Bothers Occupiers

KOB TV - Police cuffed and hauled away some UnOccupy protesters Sunday at UNM’s Yale Park – and weren't happy about it. The demonstration had been advertised all week - but when protesters showed up Sunday, police stepped in.
Our Eddie Garcia was at Yale Park as the demonstration and arrests unfolded. UNM officials told him that none of this would have happened if the group would have gotten a permit. Four people were arrested for trespassing as UNM police moved in to Yale Park to kick everyone out. The University actually shut down the park to force demonstrators onto the sidewalk. “I don't think anyone has ever heard of a beautiful Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock closing down a public park. That's when it should be most open and most available to the public,” said protester Jeffrey Haas. Read full story here: News New Mexico
