Jailed Protesters Released to Cheers FOXDFW

DALLAS - Several Occupy Dallas protesters were released from jail Tuesday amid cheers and support from other members of the movement.
“Hey, hey. Ho, ho. Let our people go. Hey, hey. Ho ho. Let our people go!” the group chanted.
Roughly two dozen people were taken into custody Monday after they refused to leave the entrance of the Chase bank in downtown Dallas.
When they refused to leave, many were arrested and spent the night at Lew Sterrett jail on charges of criminal trespassing.
Oscar Gallegos said he planned on getting arrested.
“This is important enough for me, to be out here and be arrested for this cause, because it shows awareness and opens people’s eyes. So I was always willing to be arrested for this cause,” he said.
An Occupy Dallas spokesman said the group is planning more protests throughout the week.
