The residents of #OccupyPhilly celebrate Thanksgiving with a turkey dinner on Dilworth Plaza at Philadelphia City Hall. The first holiday decorations also began to appear. photos
I try to stop by to photograph Occupy Philly just about every day. Read More→
I grabbed these images just after noon Sunday from the Global Revolution live stream.
They appear to show arrests taking place on the street outside the Philadelphia Police Administration Building, consistent with photojournalists Joe Kaczmarek‘s photos of a protest at the same location last night.
I live in Philly, covered the city for many years and can confirm that I saw familiar Philadelphia Police wagons, bicycles and uniforms – and the Police Administration Building – in the video. Police carried some of the demonstrators – who apparently refused to walk to police vans – but both sides seemed generally peaceful, at least as far as I could see via the video.
Now, 90 minutes later, I can’t find any news of the arrests on any Philly old media news sites. Not even a tweet.
Advancing content produced by an active participant in any story requires at least special attention to ethical journalism practices, but what choices so we have when nobody else delivers? Does waiting for police confirmation make any sense when they have been identified as the other party in the conflict? These are very interesting times.
I took another walk through #OccupyPhilly at Philadelphia City Hall this morning and found more tents sheltering protesters from the damp weather but couldn’t help but notice the lack of engagement between demonstrators and morning rush hour commuters. ©2011 jim@jimmacmillan.com
