The arrest came Tuesday in the office of Missouri's 4th District U.S. Rep. Vicky Hartzler. The video above was shot in the aftermath of the arrest by other Occupy protesters. The person shooting the video appears to be unclear about whether the man being arrested was a part of their group or an independent protester.
Occupy KC protesters are in D.C. as part of the 99 In DC convention, which is calling for the nation's Occupy factions and the so-called 99 percent to converge on the Capitol and meet with elected officials.
The most ironic part of the video is occupiers praising 6th District Republican U.S. Rep. Sam Graves, who, like Hartzler, is fairly conservative. Unlike Hartzler, Graves managed to carve out the time in his schedule to listen to what the Occupy KC contingent had to say.

We do not need a full time congress and house. Close up the offices in Washington and let them go back to the states where they were elected. They should be working in their own state and the political job should just be part time. There is no reason to be in D.C. full time. With the modern age of computers they could tele confrence and save everybody a lot of money. I think they should have to pay for their own medical and with a part time wage look at all the money we could save. Sell the buildings in washington to a private investor and let him worry about the up keep and if a politican wants an office in Washington let him pay for it out of his own pocket. They should be at home to serve the people that elected them

This just proves she is working for herself and not the people that elected her
