1. most of them were freed on their own recognizance and given a summons to appear
as for the rest we will have to find out after the bail hearing/s. My guess is that few if any will have to post bails (prob the guy accused of assault on a police officer but their is only one so far.)

2. I thought that most of them were processed and then released with a citation.
I hope that is the case.

3. I don't think that there is necessarily a bail to be paid.
They really don't want 700+ people crowding up the place, eating food, asking for medical attention.

I think they generally just release with a summons to appear or maybe not even that after a few hours.
