Seattle Police Pepper-Spray Occupy Protesters, Six Arrested

HeadlineNov 03, 2011

Hundreds of protesters stood in the rain in Seattle outside a hotel where JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon was invited to speak Wednesday. Police used pepper spray to clear a side entrance to the building in order to allow patrons to leave. Six demonstrators were arrested attempting to block the entrance to a Chase bank. The police claim at least 10 officers were physically assaulted while putting the arrested protesters in a paddy wagon, forcing them to again use pepper spray on the crowd.
