We're seeing an absolute erosion of our civil rights, 23-year-old Patrick Bruner told the New York Daily News.

The Occupy Wall Street protests have taken place since last weekend, when hundreds of people descended upon the Financial District. So far, the protests have been non-violent.

We're not here to make life more difficult. We're here to help empower you to take on the real enemy, which is the greedy corporate hedgefunders and bankers on Wall Street that are making life more difficult for everybody here, a protester named Justin told CBS.
