CHARLOTTE,N.C. — Dozens of protesters on Tuesday shut down an intersection blocks from the Democratic National Convention here, drawing hundreds of police officers and curious onlookers as they chanted against corporate greed, drone missiles and all manner of political woes.

Officers armed with wooden bats, paintball guns and plastic handcuffs lined the perimeter of East Stonewall Street and South Caldwell Street while cheers of “Free Manning, Arrest Barack” and “You are the army of the rich” rose from men and women sitting and standing in the road. Bradley Manning is the Army private accused of leaking vast archives of classified U.S. documents to the Wikileaks whistleblower website in 2010.

Ed Hunt, a 59-year-old veteran from Freedom Plaza in Washington, D.C., said the ultimate goal for the demonstrators was that convention-goers see that “this is happening, that we have the right to protest.”

“There’s so much to change,” he added. “There’s no reason for anybody to be separated.”
