1. Human chains, ACTIVATE!

6. How would that help? I'm sure those buses will have eventual utility as transport,

after they are used as a holding tank.


They've decided that they want that park emptied. Time to find a new home, I guess.

Their podcast interviews with people at Occupy Wall Street have been excellent.

4. Police may also be using cell phones to avoid scanning of dispatch radio signals

9. They are actually going after people who have left the area in their cars.

11. "We're in the process of moving them all, we're clearing it out right now."

Reportely from police scans.

13. #OccupyBoston on Facebook say #OccupyChicago are also under police attack.

15. I was there, left at 10:45pm. There was a line of police scooters outside the east entrance

to the part when I left. A block east I saw a few vehicles that looked like police but they didn't say NYPD, they said something like "public safety" on them. I didn't take a pic of those other vehicles. I also didn't walk around the other sides of the park. Sorry the pic is so out of focus. Didn't notice that when I took it.



Also, when I arrived, a bit after 8pm, there were cops standing at the south entrance and as I walked past them one of them said to me that the park closed at twelve. I said thanks.

[Fire Walk With Me]

17. Glad you got out. Thanks for the pic, that's a LOT of police!

[cui bono]

19. Yeah, and that was just outside one entrance, don't know about the other ones.

There were many cops there from 8:30 on but the people were able to have the gathering uninterrupted, the general assembly happened no problem. If you look at that pic, the entire circle was filled with people sitting down and there were lots of people outside of it as well.

They had a "kitchen" table with a bunch of pizzas that had been sent. They had a first aid table as well.

18. That park is always closed at midnight. So they always clear it at night.

They were out in force in anticipation of occupiers wanting to stay there. I saw on a twitter feed that 12 people decided to stay. I assume they've all been arrested or at least forced to leave.
