Attorneys from the Partnership for Civil Justice Fund (PCJF) on Oct. 4 filed a class action lawsuit against Mayor Bloomberg, Police Commissioner Kelly and the City of New York, charging mass violations of constitutional rights in the trap and detain mass arrest of 700 demonstrators on the Brooklyn Bridge this past Saturday, October 1, 2011.
The lawsuit charges that "the NYPD engaged in a
premeditated, planned, scripted, and calculated effort to sweep the streets of protestors and disrupt a growing protest movement in New York......
"Police commanders led and escorted demonstrators onto the roadway of the Brooklyn Bridge in an intentional
entrapment," stated Mara Verheyden-Hilliard, Executive
Director of the PCJF and counsel on the litigation. "The police conducted a charade - and duly videotaped it - of speaking inaudibly into a bullhorn that could not be heard mere feet away from the officer. The NYPD knew no audible
communication was given. The NYPD also knew that the
Constitution requires that any ostensible command must
be heard by those who are expected to be bound by it.
Instead, the NYPD engaged in a performance, videotaped
it, and sprang their trap. They then set their PR machine
into motion, widely distributing their edited videos of events
to spin a false narrative to the public and the media," she
continued.

From Huffington Post: Occupy Wall Street Mass Arrest ResemblesInfamous, Costly Police Tactic, Critics Say
When Marcel Cartier, 27, started marching on the bridge's
motorway, he said the police only insisted on keeping one
lane open for cars. "We began marching on the street with
police right next to us not saying anything," he told
HuffPost. "The most that was said -- 'Excuse me brother,
could you move over?' They kept one lane open for cars. It
was fine. It was perfectly okay for us to be on that street
on the bridge."
After about 15 minutes on the bridge, the march came to a
halt as the police formed a line and stopped the marchers,
Becker said. Cartier and Becker both moved up to the front.
People are bravely taking risks to nonviolently redirect our
national agenda toward taxing the rich, cutting the military,
and funding human needs. You can join with them on Wall
Street, around the country, and in Washington through
