Officials in New York City decided to delay the planned clean-up of Zuccotti Park, where anti-Wall Street protesters had set up camp a month earlier. The private owner of the park, Brookfield Office Properties, made the decision to postpone the cleaning without providing a reason. Protesters were happy about the postponement and celebrated at the park, but several people were arrested when a group marched through the financial district. A representative from the New York Police Department confirmed that arrests were made during the protest, but did not disclose the number of arrests or any specific details. Many protesters were concerned that the cleaning operation was an attempt to dismantle the movement, which has led to solidarity protests in over 1,400 cities. Global rallies were planned for Saturday in 71 countries, as reported by Occupy Together and United for Global Change. Protesters are frustrated by the U.S. bank bailouts that allowed banks to make substantial profits while average Americans continue to struggle with high unemployment and job insecurity. They also argue that the wealthiest 1 percent of Americans are not paying their fair share in taxes. Approximately 1,000 protesters gathered at a New York park early on Friday, where many had stayed up all night cleaning it themselves. Throughout the park, large buckets were filled with brooms and mops as protesters prepared for a clean-up. Many individuals had packed up their belongings in anticipation of the cleaning efforts. Bailey Bryant, a 28-year-old bank employee who visits the camp after work and on weekends, stated, "We clean up after ourselves. It's not like there's rats and roaches running around the park." Some people at the park were worried that the postponed clean-up was just a tactic to force them out. Sofia Johnson, a 17-year-old high school student from Brooklyn, expressed skepticism about the situation, stating that it still seemed plausible that the clean-up could happen. Brookfield, the company that owns the park, claimed that the conditions were unsanitary and unsafe due to a lack of toilets and garbage cans. They also received complaints from neighbors about lewd behavior, drug use, harassment, and offensive odors from the protesters. Brookfield did not respond to requests for comment on Friday morning. In accordance with park regulations, Brookfield representatives, accompanied by police, distributed notices to protesters on Thursday informing them that the park would be cleaned in three stages and reopened for public use in compliance with park rules. These rules prohibit camping, tents or other structures, lying on the ground, placing tarps or sleeping bags on the ground, and storing personal property - activities that the protesters have been engaged in since September 17. The deputy mayor announced that Brookfield was postponing the park cleaning and temporarily retracting their request for police assistance during the operation. Brookfield is hopeful that they can reach an agreement with the protesters to maintain a clean, safe park for public use while being considerate of residents and businesses downtown. The situation will continue to be monitored. Hundreds of individuals have been taken into custody at demonstrations in New York, and dozens have been arrested in various cities such as Boston, Washington D.C., Chicago, Austin, and San Francisco over the past few weeks. Additionally, solidarity gatherings have emerged at over 140 college campuses in 25 states across the U.S., as reported by Occupy Colleges.
