14 Kalamazoo park protesters arrested Wednesday morning

Bronson Park sits across from Kalamazoo’s City Hall. Tuesday night it was full of people, music and tents.

But by Wednesday morning, it had police officers standing behind yellow caution tape that surrounds the park.

Police arrested fourteen people around 7 a.m. on Wednesday morning, just twelve hours after the time city officials told the protesters they could be arrested for staying in the park.

One of the people arrested is Kalamazoo City Commissioner Shannon Sykes.

Commissioner Sykes, who has been supporting the Encampment protest members, says everyone who was arrested who didn’t already have a warrant was released Wednesday morning.

“We’re going to connect with everybody who was not incarcerated today, we’re going to regroup, we’re going to talk again and the fight continues,” Sykes said.

Each protester who was arrested is charged with obstructing a police line except commissioner Sykes, who is charged with attempting to resist arrest.

Sykes says she will continue to protest alongside the homeless residents.

“Until folks, regardless of whether they have a home to go to, still are afforded the same rights, the same human rights, as the rest of us,” she said.

They have the same right as the rest of us, to stay off or get off of drugs, to deal with their mental illnesses, to clean themselves up and find work, and to ask for readily available help in doing so. If they choose another course of action or inaction it's on them.

They were released before the ink was dry. So, why bother?
