‘Wall Street’ protesters jailed after Union Square scuffle vow to keep fighting for financial reform

The young Brooklyn woman who became the front-page face of a demonstration against Wall St. greed emerged from her jail cell Sunday and vowed to keep protesting.

Rheannone Ball, 19, of Bushwick appeared on the cover of Sunday’s Daily News with cops wrestling her to the ground and tying her hands as she screamed.

Released from custody last night, Ball was wearing the same clothes she was photographed in, including a black tank top revealing a compass tattooed just above her cleavage.

"I’ve been out of jail for two hours and I’m back," said Ball, who rejoined her fellow protesters at Zuccotti Park, near Wall St. "I’ll take the disorderly conduct charge and be proud of it."
