Some of them were. Most of them probably weren't. Though it depends on context. Context is everything and you can't really judge them without it. Especially since a lot of things that can merit arresting someone are very subjective, like the risk of harming others or themselves can apply to standing on top of bench. At the same time, you also have to take this video with a grain of salt considering it's biased towards the protesters. Though, with something as big as "occupying" Wall Street, I doubt many main stream media will side with the protesters.
It reminds me a lot of the G20 protests in Canada earlier last year. Not to say that the police shouldn't be doing what they were doing, as anarchists would definitely take advantage.

They can't get organized. It's almost impossible. But that doesn't mean that they can't accomplish anything either. The Arab spring was very loosely organized, but the people in the Middle-East managed to topple regime after regime.
I just wish that they can get their message across, because it's a powerful one. Hard to do when every single media outlet isn't touching it, or barely touching upon it. It shows a lot about how much power Wall Street has over America.
