There have been 11 or 12 arrests for using chalk on sidewalks and benches in LA despite a 9th circuit court judge having ruled that no chalk shall harm a sidewalk...this has not slowed down the police one bit. Tonight they wanted to join "Artwalk" and do civil disobedience chalking, and I can hear police helicopters.

More than four shots fired, note that none of them are Occupiers. The one on the phone was just going to a 7/11...

I've been watching Patti's stream; she said a cop pointed her out as well. Fire Walk With Me Jul 2012 #6

So someone, not a cop, pointed her out to cops? Fire Walk With Me Jul 2012 #7

"Use a waterhose." The thing the cops could have avoided confrontation and used on the chalk later? pinboy3niner Jul 2012 #33

No, no, he was saying to wash off the sidewalks. joshcryer Jul 2012 #37

The KCBS news report was negative pinboy3niner Jul 2012 #22

This was Artwalk and drunk bar-goers may have joined in as well. This was not primarily Occupy Fire Walk With Me Jul 2012 #24

That's what I'm thinking, as well. joshcryer Jul 2012 #27

Thanks, I suspected bar patrons might be involved pinboy3niner Jul 2012 #30

There was a bar whose outside walls were covered completely in chalk. joshcryer Jul 2012 #38
