Some 200 police officers \u2014 including many in riot gear \u2014 approached the protest site at about 1:30 a.m. this morning. Police began making arrests after giving protesters two minutes to disperse. One Vietnam War Veteran said he was knocked to the ground during the arrest operation. Organizers of &#8220;Occupy Boston&#8221; said the police arrested a legal observer from the National Lawyers Guild and four medics who were attempting to care for protesters injured in the police raid.
