From the Description:
"These protests is not about left & right, don't let the mainstream media make you believe otherwise, this is not just a left wing movement. The protesters are highlighting corrupt financial institutions & their hold on both sides of the political divide. We all need to forget about partisan affiliations, get this criminal elite off our backs & work together to sort out the planet."
That video tends to disprove your point.
The hippies are blocking the bridge, which is illegal, and are being arrested for engaging in illegal behavior. The police didn't force them onto the bridge. The police simply asked them to walk on the sidewalk, and not the roadway so they didn't endanger themselves or vehicles.
Furthermore, the description, which you posted, says nothing about the police tricking them into blocking the bridge. Instead it talks about how “[t]he protesters are highlighting corrupt financial institutions & their hold on both sides of the political divide.”
And, as noted before, the idea of blocking the Brooklyn Bridge to protest “corrupt financial institutions” is non-sensical:
The Brooklyn Bridge is hardly there for the exclusive use of billionaires or corporations. In fact, the bulk of people using it are middle class and lower class.
Typical hippie behavior. They get desperate for attention and start inconveniencing the very people they claim to be standing up for.
