Franklyn shot this amazing footage during the Occupy Wall Street march on Times Square for the Global Day of Action. The NYPD had cordoned off a large area in Times Square and herded the protestors in at the end of the march. What made them take this action is unknown, the march had been quite peaceful until the thousands of marchers (estimated at 20,000) were stuck in this penned area which was much too small to comfortably contain everyone. Then they tried to “maintain order” (which was orderly until they got in there), with mounted police. The marchers were trying desperately to avoid contact with the horses, both to protect themselves and the horses. Franklyn shot this from inside the pen: NYPD Times Square.

I just saw the revised estimates of number of protestors, up to 70,000. Incredible.
