Yes, I noticed that many protesters had pepper spray and batons.

Excessive force is wrong and if it was used, the ones using it should suffer the consequences. These folks made a choice to mix it up with the police.

When the tension broke and protesters finally decided to mix it up with the cops, climbing scaffolding on Broadway and trying to breach the barriers, arrests and pepper-spraying ensued. .....Defending the police response, Kelly repeatedly pointed to what he called a "core group of self-styled anarchists" who wanted to go from Zuccotti Park down Broadway to Wall St. itself, and he said were determined to physically confront officers who barred the way.
"When you have a confrontation, which is what these individuals wanted, it's not pretty," Kelly said.
