Our photographer ZD Roberts was just beaten by cops @OWS. Thrown down, hair grabbed and slammed with nightsticks - while Zach yelling "I'm PRESS!" trying to show badge. Cops berserk. Zach following protest path tho I'm trying to get him to come in with film. He cannot be arrested again but I fear he's a bit pumped up taking risks. I will have him post when (if) he comes in safe. gp
