NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - About 200 disabled activists, most in wheelchairs, blocked streets around the state Capitol on Tuesday in a second day of protests to criticize Tennessee's long-term health care program.
Forty-four protesters were arrested by police, who were trying to prevent traffic delays that frustrated state workers on Monday.
"They were afforded the opportunity to get out of the roadway and they didn't," said police spokesman Don Aaron.
