This morning a little after 9am an occupier with Occupy Cleveland was arrested in the free speech quandrant of public square by police for not presenting for his ID after giving his name. The occupier has not been charged however indications are that he will be charged with resisting arrest and sleeping in public square.  Other occupiers who witnessed the event report the occupier was not asleep but asking police questions about permits regarding his presence in the square during the incident. Currently, Occupy Cleveland is permitted to have informational tables, signs, and a 24/7 presence in the Tom Johnson quadrant (NW) of Public Square.

The movement hopes that our fellow 99% in uniform join with us in peaceful solidarity as well as in our work to defeat Issues 2.  We hope the Police  continue to restrain any officers seeking to harass or demoralize the occupation movement.
