Occupy DC protesters arrested at abandoned Franklin School

Published November 19, 2011 5:00am ET



D.C. police dragged about 10 handcuffed protesters out of a vacant downtown building Saturday, hours after the protesters, affiliated with the Occupy DC movement in McPherson Square, broke into the building to protest the city’s treatment of homeless people.

The masked occupiers broke into the abandoned Franklin School at 13th and K Streets Northwest Saturday, unfurling a black banner that read: “PUBLIC PROPERTY UNDER NEW MGMT COMMUNITY CONTROL.”
