Recent May Day marches in Chicago have been largely sedate affairs by labor
and immigration groups, but Occupy demonstrators want to turn up the volume
today as they -- and authorities -- tune up for the May 20-21 NATO summit.
Check here for updates as we follow the march.
Protestors
try to block door to Bank of America
The group briefly tried to enter, but left an ATM lobby after the inner door was locked.
Officers on bicycles have arrived. "The calvary is here!" one protester shouted.
Occupy protesters chant about Bank of America
About 40 protesters are telling the media they're moving to 201 S. State. Before starting to disperse, they chanted aboutBank of
America getting federal benefits: "The banks got bailed out and we got
sold out!"
One man on the corner wore a mock security uniform with a badge that said "we are the 99 percent." He said he was keeping order among the group and told one man to tear up a sign that said "(expletive) the police."
"I like to resolve issues. I will get rid of the problem if there is one. We want a clean protest," said Tony Norris.
Other protesters were simply identifying themselves as "99"
