up of protestors onto the bridge where they'd set up a net to trap protestors, the protestors were *NOT* trying to block a bridge.

If this is true, they have just given license to NYPD to do whatever it takes to remove them from the streets. I think we need pictures (or a live feed) to verify exactly what it means when they say "taken over" the bridge...
ETA: simultaneous posting... thanks for the feed (above me)
Looks like there is a barrier on the side of the bridge where the police are standing, so maybe this was expected? or intended?

If this is true, these people are about two days from being declared dangerous outlaws.
Seriously, this isn't good.

NEW YORK — About 400 anti-Wall Street protesters were arrested on Saturday after blocking traffic lanes on the Brooklyn Bridge and attempting an unauthorized march across the span, police and witnesses said.
"Approximately 400 were arrested on the Brooklyn Bridge late this afternoon after multiple warnings by police were given to protesters to stay on the pedestrian walkway," a police spokesman told Reuters.
"Some complied and took the walkway without being arrested. Others locked arms and proceeded on the Brooklyn-bound vehicular roadway. The latter were arrested," he added.
