Police Arrest 14 At 'Occupy Walden' Events

Police arrested a total of 14 protesters in Bend and Medford Monday night after they refused to leave the offices of Representative Greg Walden.

The "Occupy Walden" rallies drew inspiration from the Occupy Wall Street Movement.

In Bend and Medford, protesters set up shop in Walden’s offices for the better part of the day, refusing to leave until their demands were met. Protesters also gathered in La Grande and Hood River where they shouted slogans and carried signs saying "we are the 99 percent."

Chris Lawler is a student at Central Oregon Community College. He says the group wants Walden to hold 5 town halls in 5 months, including one during the Christmas recess. He says announcements for previous town halls were given with too little notice.

"He never gives people who disagree with some of these things a chance to speak. And if you don’t listen to people who do disagree with us, then you’re not going to understand why it’s not working for a lot of people," he said.

A spokesman for Walden says the congressman held 14 town hall meetings in the district this year. The last one was held this past August in La Pine.
