Occupy Spans America: Milwaukee Protesters Closed Down North Avenue
…in Milwaukee, several hundred protesters shook off the cold at Carver Park and then marched to the North Avenue span over I-43 (one of the few bridges being targeted where city workers had been engaged all day in doing repairs). As these protesters chanted and even sat down in the street, dozens of police squads and even Chief Flynn watched without interfering for 90 minutes, a demonstration of control and cool that a lot of New Yorkers must now envy.
