New York police are trying to reclaim barricades and are going after protesters.

There were two groups of protesters, at Zuccotti Park and Wall Street, now joining one another.

NYPD have sound canons, tear gas, batons, pepper spray, and now, smashing people with the metal barricades, police officer choking someone now as he arrests them.

Police tell media they are prepared to arrest 10,000.

My office isn't far from Zuccotti Park and when I heard it was being cleared I went down with my camera. I ended up filming for 18 hours until the Park was reopened at 6pm on November 15, 2011. The police presence was overwhelming, more than I've ever seen - more than during the blackout, more than the days after September 11th.

'Nazi' book destroyers strike Occupy Wall Street AGAIN

Occupy Wall Street librarians with new books again

NYPD and Brookfield seize People's Library AGAIN

(Nov. 17, 2011) NEW YORK -- "NYPD and Brookfield have taken the People's Library again and we love you all," tweet the Occupy Wall Street librarians of Zuccotti Park.

They also raided all the energy bars, waters, and snacks from the re-created library, and threw them away, too. This is not the first time.

Then, shortly after: "A few of our awesome librarians holding up new donations just after NYPD and Brookfield workers took our books tonight."

The librarians are restocking, in case you'd like to donate.

And for those new to the story, Brookfield is the owner of Zuccotti Park, a central site in the two-month-old global Occupy movement. Participants in the OWS protest at Zuccotti set up a book-sharing site, a library of sorts, and both the structure and the 5,000 books it contained were destroyed by the police earlier this week.

"Books are apparently the crosses and garlic of the evil vampire squid," tweets "bookmaker" Kate Black.

"Porn star Sasha Grey reads to children while the NYPD throws books in the trash," sayscomedian Rob Delaney. "Inhale that, America."
