Occupy Minnesota protesters will meet with Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak Tuesday to discuss the weekend arrests of a dozen demonstrators. The Occupy movement alleges police brutality. Forty members marched to Rybak's office to demand the meeting. Police Chief Tim Dolan has acknowledged cops may have gone too far in knocking a camera off the shoulder of a news photographer.

A scuffle broke out between Occupy Des Moines demonstrators and presidential candidate Michele Bachmann's security detail Saturday in Iowa. Police say the protesters were arrested for trespassing.

In addition to the allegations by demonstrators in Minneapolis, a KSTP news photographer says he was roughed up and his camera damaged by police as he tried to tape the arrests. Police booked the protesters for blocking traffic and for public nuisance offenses. Another demonstration is planned for Monday.

The TC Daily Planet is reporting some demonstrators connected to the OccupyMN movement have occupied a foreclosed home in north Minneapolis to keep the residents from being evicted. The protesters say they intend to stay in the home and in tents on the property until U.S. Bank agrees to renegotiate the mortgage. They say they will resist if authorities try to forcefully evict the residents.

The Occupy Wall Street protests gathered steam in Rochester over the weekend. A group of protesters marched there for the second organized expression there.

Mayor R.T. Rybak has nominated Janee Harteau to be Minneapolis' next Chief of Police. The 25-year veteran of the department would be the city's first female police chief. Harteau is currently an assistant to Chief Tim Dolan, who is retiring at the end of the year.

Scott Olsen, a Marine from Onalaska, Wis., was hurt during an Occupy Wall Street protest in Oakland when a projectile fractured his skull. Fellow veterans and others are blaming police. Now "We are all Scott Olsen" has become a rallying cry for demonstrators in cities across the country.
