New York City officials decided to delay the planned clean-up of Zuccotti Park, where anti-Wall Street protesters have been camped out for a month. The private owner of the park, Brookfield Office Properties, made the last-minute decision to postpone the cleaning without providing a reason. The protesters were happy about the postponement and celebrated in the park, but several people were arrested when a group marched through the downtown financial district. A spokesperson from the New York Police Department confirmed that there were arrests made during the protests, but did not disclose the number of arrests or any further details. Many protesters were concerned that the cleaning of the area was an attempt to disband 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 angry about the U.S. bank bailouts during the recession, which allowed banks to make significant profits while average Americans continue to struggle with high unemployment and job insecurity. They also believe that the wealthiest 1 percent of Americans are not paying their fair share in taxes. Approximately 1,000 demonstrators gathered at the New York park early on Friday, with many staying up all night to clean it themselves. Buckets filled with brooms and mops were scattered throughout the park as protesters prepared for the clean-up. Bailey Bryant, a 28-year-old bank employee who frequents the camp after work and on weekends, emphasized the importance of maintaining cleanliness by stating, "We clean up after ourselves. It's not like there's rats and roaches running around the park." Some people in the park were worried that the delayed clean-up was actually a tactic to force them out. Sofia Johnson, a 17-year-old student from Brooklyn, expressed skepticism about the postponement, saying it seemed too good to be true. She believed that it was still a possibility and advised against letting one's guard down completely in such a situation. Brookfield had claimed that the park conditions were unsanitary and unsafe due to a lack of toilets and garbage cans. They also mentioned complaints from neighbors about lewd behavior, drug use, harassment, and offensive smells coming from the protesters. Brookfield did not respond to calls for comment on Friday morning. Following 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 would reopen for public use in accordance with park regulations. However, the rules prohibit camping, tents, lying on the ground, placing tarps or sleeping bags on the ground, and storing personal property - all of which the protesters have been doing since they arrived on September 17. The deputy mayor announced the postponement, stating that Brookfield was delaying their scheduled cleaning of the park and withdrawing their request for police assistance. Brookfield believes they can reach an agreement with the protesters to ensure the park remains clean, safe, and available for public use while also being respectful to residents and businesses downtown. The situation will be monitored closely. Hundreds of individuals have been detained during demonstrations in New York, and over the past few weeks, numerous arrests have occurred in cities such as Boston, Washington, D.C., Chicago, Austin, and San Francisco. Additionally, solidarity gatherings have emerged at over 140 college campuses in 25 states across the U.S., as reported by Occupy Colleges.
