Police arrest 175 Occupy Chicago protestors | WBEZ

Police arrest 175 Occupy Chicago protestors | WBEZ:

"The arrests began about 1 a.m. Sunday and ended with the park cleared about 3:30 a.m., the newspaper reported. It said most arrests were peaceful, but at least two men refused to stand and had to be carried away. Video showed protesters sitting on the ground, chanting "This is what democracy looks like" and "Shame on you, CPD" as arrests were made.

Chicago police said protesters who were arrested would be released after background checks were done to make sure they didn't have any outstanding arrest warrants. They could face fines for violating a municipal ordinance."
