NASHVILLE, Tenn. – About 30 Tennessee Highway Patrol officers moved into War Memorial Plaza overnight and removed the final Occupy Nashville tent, according to the group.

Occupy Nashville said that the troopers came onto the Plaza around 3:50 a.m. Monday. The group said Christopher Humphrey was asked to come out of the tent on War Memorial Plaza.

When he did, he said the troopers proceeded to remove his tent, as well as one nearby from the plaza.

They said the troopers initially removed their information table, donation box, and other protest materials, but the troopers agreed to return them after talking to occupiers and their legal team.

State workers then began pressure washing the plaza.

Humphrey and other protesters there to support him say they plan to continue contesting the law that prohibits camping on state property that is not specifically designated for it.

Over the weekend the fools were removed from their Fort Wayne camp, too.

“State workers then began pressure washing the plaza.”
