'Occupy Seattle' protesters arrested at Westlake Park

[Generic Other]

Seattle police forcibly removed at least three "Occupy Seattle" protesters from Westlake Park hours after Mayor Mike McGinn ordered the demonstrators to pack up their tents and leave.

Police made at several arrests as Seattle Parks Department workers took down the tents that remained. Officers pulled back by 3 p.m., leaving a throng of about 100 protesters remaining in the park.

Dozens of bicycle patrol officers trained in crowd control were on scene at 2 p.m. after Seattle Parks Department officials told demonstrators they must remove their tents or be tresspassed from the park.

The mayor had made the same request Tuesday night, but demonstrators remained camped at the downtown park as the protests moved into their fifth day.
