 New York City has agreed to pay members of the so-called Occupy movement more than half a million dollars for false arrest over demonstrations back in 2011 and '12.

The payout is the largest so far in a series of payments for police misdeeds during the protests in Manhattan's financial district against social and economic inequality.
