The L.A. office of Wackenhut, a Arizona based security firm, is located next to the corner where 10 protesters, 9 women and 1 man, handcuffed themselves to each other in the middle of the intersection. All 10 were arrested by L.A.P.D.
The protest shut down the intersection for over 4 hours and caused traffic havoc in the area.
The protesters vowed to return to the intersection.
