which all conclude "The protesters were not violent at all, but a number of women were maced in the face with pepper-spray by police despite the peaceful nature of the rally."

so that pretty much tells the story unless you have some specifc articles which say differently.

Well, let's take a look at your first link:

The "Occupy Wall Street" protest, which is entering its second week, is a movement against bank bailouts, the mortgage crisis and Georgia's execution of Troy Davis.

Demonstrators are attempting to take over Manhattan's Union Square, emulating what Egyptian protestors did by taking over the main square in Cairo in anti-government protests earlier this year.

About 80 people were arrested as protestors marched through lower Manhattan yesterday. Police said the majority of arrests were made for blocking traffic.

Other charges included disorderly conduct and resisting arrest and one person was charged with assaulting a police officer.


Sorry, but your 40 seconds of video is not telling the entire story.
