It's not only students who've been standing defiant on U.S. streets as part of the ongoing anti-Wall Street protests. But the movement, that has attracted thousands of people from all walks of life demanding economic justice, has recently seen a sweeping police crackdown. Around a hundred protesters were arrested nationwide in the last three days for refusing to leave their camps. In Denver officers in riot gear used pepper spray and rubber bullets to disperse the crowds. Eyewitnesses accuse police of using brutal force and say authorities are manipulating evidence to discredit activists.
