Occupy Wall Street protesters win lawsuit over arrests

[Sallow]

Here's a thought conserverinos. Instead of shooting cops? Why not sue?

New York City has agreed to pay nearly $600,000 to settle allegations that police wrongfully arrested a group of Occupy Wall Street protesters, marking what their lawyers Tuesday called the largest settlement to date in a single Occupy-related civil rights case.

The $583,000 pact involves 14 demonstrators who said police ordered them to leave but prevented them from doing so and arrested them in Lower Manhattan early on New Year’s Day 2012. The disorderly-conduct cases got dismissed, according to the protesters’ federal lawsuit, which argues that they were arrested “for expressing their views.”

Oh wait, lets hire a corporate lawyer use the system to get lots of money.

Settling isn't winning.
