JESSE JACKSON OCCUPIES OWS MEDICAL TENT, SAVES IT FROM BEING EVICTED BY NYPD

A little after 11:25PM, there was big commotion on the south side of Zuccotti Park as someone mic checked that the NYPD was moving into to remove the “medical tent” (tents are a violation of the park’s rules.). Occupy Wall Street protesters immediately locked arms and vowed to protect it. Out of nowhere, civil rights activist Jesse Jackson swooped in and spoke face to face with the NYPD as officers continued to amass on Cedar Street.

A demonstrator asked him to join the “human barricade” to which he immediately agreed. She took his hand and led him over to the tent, which he then proceeded to guard, locking arms with others who formed a circle around it. After a few tense minutes, the police dispersed and the crowd cheered. The tent will not be removed tonight.
