A man who has been involved in past protests in Milwaukee was arrested Thursday ...after bank tellers said he walked into a downtown Milwaukee M&I branch and yelled something to the effect of "this is a hostile takeover," according to the Milwaukee Police Department....
However, people who identified themselves as participants in the gathering organized by Occupy Milwaukee said no one had threatened the bank or anyone else. The group is an offshoot of the Occupy Wall Street movement, which focuses on the role large banks and multinational corporations play in government and the economy.
A video posted on the group's Facebook page late Thursday afternoon carried about nine minutes of footage from Thursday's protest. The video does not give a complete record of the gathering; it's not clear what might have happened before or after filming, or whether the video was edited.
At different points in the video, police can be seen in the background observing the event. Then, a man at the center of the protesters yells: "Folks, this is not a recession, this is a robbery. We are being robbed, and they're stealing and taking away from us every day."
At that point, officers can be seen on the video interceding and taking the man away. They refused to give any reasons for the arrest to other protesters.
Here is a link to the full video outside the bank.. we have yet to locate any video from inside but the bank. Pay careful attention to what the "teacher" says just before his arrest....
This video documents the efforts of a disciplined and dedicated group of concerned local Milwaukee citizens now UNITED by Occupy Milwaukee (a group affiliated with Occupy Wall St.). One of several goals of this group is to bring the immoral actions of the banks to the attention of the public.

"No matter what, I'll be supporting Occupy Wall Street. And I think the movement's basic strategy – to build numbers and stay in the fight, rather than tying itself to any particular set of principles – makes a lot of sense early on. But the time is rapidly approaching when the movement is going to have to offer concrete solutions to the problems posed by Wall Street. To do that, it will need a short but powerful list of demands. There are thousands one could make, but I'd suggest focusing on five:..." Matt Taibbi | Rolling Stone

"In America, we march, we chant, we protest, we picket, we sit in. But the notion of a people's general assembly is a bit foreign. Put simply, it's a leaderless group of people who get together to discuss pressing issues and make decisions by pure consensus. The term "horizontal" gets tossed around to describe general assemblies, which simply means there's no hierarchy: Everyone stands on equal footing. Occupy Wall Street's daily assemblies shape how the occupation is run, tackling issues such as cleaning the park, public safety, and keeping the kitchen running. Smaller working groups handle media relations, outreach, sanitation, and more. In Spain, general assemblies are hugely popular, forming not just in the cities but in individual neighborhoods, bringing a few hundred people together each week. In some cases, Spanish assemblies have been formed to stop home evictions or immigrant raids." Andy Kroll

Occupy Chicago After Arrests: We Will Re-Occupy | Common Dreams
"So what’s next for Occupy Chicago? How will the City and the movement respond to the arrests? “It is a morally reprehensible and politically unsustainable system we find ourselves in,” said Bohrer. “The arrests do not negatively impact the ideas or spirit of the movement. It [the arrests] just makes more visible the state apparatus [that protects the financial sector]. Our civil disobedience protest is against the way the political and economic system co-constitute each other. We will re-occupy.”"

In a panel on Oct. 13, five Yale economists — (from left) President Richard Levin, William Nordhaus, Robert Shiller, Judith Chevalier, Aleh Tsyvinski, and John Geanakoplos — debated whether short-term jobs-creation programs would put the United States on a course of sustainable economic growth.

New Haven's Occupation now underway | Yale Daily News
New Haven's Occupation now underway | Yale Daily News
"Oestreich, who said she will drop out of St. John’s University to work full time with the Occupy movement, has traveled the East Coast to help the different manifestations of the Occupy protests share ideas and information, and does not believe the movement’s lack of a singular message hurts the protests.
“We don’t want well-defined demands because that would [exclude] people,” Oestreich said, adding that the goal of the Occupy protests is to spark discussion first, and effect change later. She said that one of the few demands the group agreed on was taking corporations out of politics.
Saturday was “Global Occupation Day,” she said, with cities across the world holding similar protests. As for the future of New Haven’s protests, Oestreich said she is extremely optimistic given the large number that came out for Saturday’s march.
By Sunday night, there were around 30 tents on the New Haven Green. Protesters said the occupation has no plan to end." Full Article Here| Yale Daily News
