Severe police action as thousands of Occupy protesters fill Times Square Oct 16, 2011

Tens of thousands of people in hundreds of cities around the word have been venting their fury against the greed of the big banks - and the debt management inflicted by their governments. Inspired by the 'Occupy Wall Street' movement in Manhattan, protests took hold in Europe, Asia, and around the U.S. - with some turning violent. In New York, there were dozens of arrests as police moved to contain the rally.
