As we move on through this year, there are an increasing number of protests occurring all over the eastern side of America. There have been several Occupy [City] events and several arrests have followed these protests. A recent protest, Occupy Chicago, occurred early Sunday and caused more than 130 people to be arrested after several of the demonstrators held their ground and defied the police orders to clear the area.

In my opinion, these demonstrators are using their freedom to assemble. They have a issue that they are wanting to address and they are using their freedoms of speech and assembly to express it. The police are seeming to be removing their freedoms from them for the things that they are doing. All they are trying to do is to get the government's attention about the aid they have given the banks and businesses and the little aid they have given to the middle class.
