Live Blog: Occupy Wall Street Protesters Win Battle Against Bloomberg Eviction, At Least 10 Arrested in Clash With Police

The brave protesters stationed at Zuccotti Park, renamed Liberty Plaza, have inspired people across the nation and the world to take a stand against Wall St. excesses and demand a more equitable economic and political system for the 99%, not just the 1%. They faced forced eviction today, under the premise that the park needs to undergo cleaning. Representatives of Brookfield, the company that owns the park, sent a letter to police commissioner Ray Kelly asking the NYPD to remove the protesters, but the protesters promised to stay put. Early this morning, the city's Deputy Mayor announced that today's cleanup of Liberty Plaza has been postponed. A victory! After hearing the news, protesters marched through lower Manhattan, where at least 10 were arrested.
