Yeah. I'm guessing it was live-streaming the police over his computer stream.

I wasn't there, so I don't know. I think it's a logical question though. Is it possible that the police picked him up for something else? At the time of the arrest, it seemed like they were on the back end of breaking up the illegal protest on private property and this person didn't seem to be leaving the scene.

Really? Backing towards the door as the policeman asks him to, moving right out of the policeman's way as asked, isn't "leaving"?
And is cause for another policeman to weave through the crowd, and grab him from behind and throw him to the floor?
All the while he is completely passive, and shows no resistance? And the crowd is shouting, "What did he do?"

So is it 100% out of the realm of possibility that something happened involving this guy, that wasn't seen on the video? Or is this out of the question, because OWS would never post some sort of distorted video to make the police look bad and we believe everything they say and post.

I'm sure this was just a big plot for those evil lawbreakers to try and fool us. The sister who wrote the Salon article is probably lying, too.

As far as your last quote goes, you're right, but in this case they were on private property. So were they all arrested, or did they let the majority of the people go? If they let them go, where are the video's of the police not arresting people who just broke the law?

They only arrested the five with cameras, and the reporter. Everyone else was just pushed out the door as per the end of the video.
