ver the weekend, Chicago police tore down a first aid station at Occupy Chicago, and nurses were among the 130 protesters arrested in a massive sweep against those taking a stance against Wall Street greed.

About 1,500 people gathered Saturday in Grant Park hoping to make it the movement’s permanent home, according to The Washington Post.

Along the way, marchers chanted “Banks got bailed out, we got sold out!” and held signs that read “Greed Sucks” and “No War But The Class War” while police on horses blocked them from walking on the street on Michigan Avenue, leaving them with just the sidewalks to occupy.

The protest was peaceful, but demonstrators were taken away one by one and handcuffed with white plastic ties. As the Post noted, some on the scene shouted: “This is what democracy looks like!”

Paulina Jasczuk, a 24-year-old dental receptionist, watched as her boyfriend, Philip Devon, was led away in the night hours. She threw him a white sweater against the chill of a fall night in Chicago.

“I’m proud of everyone who got arrested tonight,” she told [The Associated Press], adding she hoped they would inspire more demonstrators to join in the movement in the weeks ahead.

Protesting the arrests and destruction of the first aid station, nurses and their allies picketed outside the mayor’s office at City Hall this morning. From the Post:

“This movement will not be a serious movement until we take a stand, and getting arrested is just one way of taking a stand,” said Max Farrar, 20, a junior political science major at DePaul University, speaking Saturday to a reporter.

National Nurses United (NNU) also has first aid stations at Occupy protests in New York’s Zuccotti Park, as well as in Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., San Francisco and Detroit and plan more in coming days.
