23. Meanwhile, Back In Omaha

Saturday night action. Note the message on the big banner.

One block behind where this photo was taken from is where this street (Farnam) crosses over the Interstate. When the protesters were in the middle of the bridge the police closed off both ends of the bridge entrapping these protesters meaning every one of them was arrested (around 75-80).

I live in the big white building in the background. It must have been about 20-30 minutes after this photo was taken I was taking trash out to our dumpster when I observed about 10 police cars with lights flashing bright. It was obvious that they had all access into and from the bridge blocked off. There were no fire/rescue present so that eliminated a traffic accident on the bridge. (I don't know Mark in Midtown).

Below is basically what I saw and is the account of our local newspaper, the Omaha World Herald.
