Occupy KC protester arrested outside Rep. Vicky Hartzler’s office
After more than two months of peaceful, low-drama demonstrations and living at Penn Valley Park, a grand total of zero Occupy Kansas City protesters have been arrested. But when a group of the local occupiers took a bus trip to Washington, D.C., to meet with our elected officials, a man associated with the group was arrested in one day.
The arrest came Tuesday in the office of Missouri’s 4th District U.S. Rep. Vicky Hartzler. The video above was shot in the aftermath of the arrest by other Occupy protesters. The person shooting the video appears to be unclear about whether the man being arrested was a part of their group or an independent protester.
