Occupy Dallas is back in action Thursday, three days after nearly two dozen of its members were arrested. The group blocked the entrance to a Chase bank downtown Monday, so police took them to jail and charged them with criminal trespass.
Thursday at noon, protesters will leave their camp behind City Hall and march to the Dallas police headquarters on Lamar. Despite being arrested by Dallas police, members of Occupy Dallas are showing their support for police, protesting budget cuts to the police department.
"The police men put their lives on the line for us every day and they're getting paid a fifth of what the politicians that sit in office that are corrupt," said protester Jared Schiffner.
