NATO Protests - Occupy Demonstrators "Kettled" at Jackson and LaSalle

Occupy demonstrators stop and rally at Jackson and LaSalle streets at the end of a day of marches and violence at the hands of Chicago Police. In this video you can hear organizers telling everyone to "go home".

Suddenly, a phalanx Chicago Police wearing riot helmets and carrying batons advanced at a trot west on Jackson and formed a menacing line anchored at the corner of the Board of Trade Building.

No order to disperse was given. You can hear me asking repeatedly if we were being detained or if we were free to leave. I received no answer at any time.

Chicago Police Superintendent McCarthy arrived on scene and conferred with his commanders. Shortly after this last clip ended, the police moved aside and let the demonstrators proceed west on Jackson in an attempt to disperse.

It was only minutes after these events that a police van struck several demonstrators without warning, injuring one who was transported to the hospital.
