A lawyer for anti-Wall Street protesters arrested in a march across New York’s Brooklyn Bridge said her clients hope to talk with city representatives to resolve what she called a “pattern and practice of police misconduct.”
Five protesters sued the city, Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly Oct. 4 for allegedly violating their civil rights in the Oct. 1 arrests. The protesters, who seek to sue on behalf of about 700 people arrested in the march, claimed police lured them onto the bridge’s roadway to trap and arrest them.
