They cleared the park out a while ago. The occupiers have been jamming the street around it, threatening to block Broadway for rush hour.
Looks like NYPD doesn't intend for them to be able to do that.
Thanks - just jumped to the end of the thread. I’m glad that they have been able to clear the various parks around the country without the violence that would perhaps help the protestors. I wonder if it is better police tactics or general wimpyness on the part of the protestors?
In my neck of the woods they caught some yutes speeding on the highway that had left Portland. Found some large fireworks in mason jars (explosives with shrapnel). Lots of anarchists in this area. Glad they didn’t get to use them to provoke a huge encounter. (And glad they got caught!)
