Breaking: Police ready for second showdown with Occupy Atlanta

Police have moved in and are ready to make the second wave of arrests. Unfortunately I have to work the overnight tonight because Lord knows I'd be there. Here is a live stream. It's about to go down, again.

EDIT: 11 alive cut their feed.

according to a friend of mine down there, the guy that got stormed by police had pulled a gun.

Occupy Atlanta Live Stream

Riot gear out and those police look wayyyy tooo hype.

It's far more serious then last time. Last time the riot police stood guard. Now they're in the mix. Oakland, here we come.

Thanks for the link

hope all stay safe

Does that sign they are holding say
"this is my permit 1st amendment ......." ?

I can't really read it. It's far more people there tonight than last time as well. The riot police are TOO hyped up. This will get ugly, quickly.

Looks like they just pushed back reporters

it does seam like they ( police) are getting pumped up for a football game

the adrenalin must be rushing for everyone there

5-0 ( police) looks real cool in the GI-JOE costumes! lol

Yup, here come the Republican Guard... They're in the wrong country.



And where's the audio?


Oh look, they hired the mounted police from Canada!


If that entire crowd said "No, you are not arresting anyone here..."


Aww darn, looks like the boys with AR-15's are not around for this one.


Ha. One good string of firecrackers right at those horses feet....

the riot police just moved to block a section of Peachtree St off. That blocks in the protesters. They're between a building, a barricade, and 2 police lines.

Not sure. Weird. the usual occupy atlanta live stream is not broadcasting right now.

ETA: I TAKE IT BACK

livestream

As usual, our dumb ass mayor is wasting money evicting a peaceful protest!!

Violence started on livestream

I can't get the usual live cam.

Violence has started - can you
give more detail?

no its done it was one bit
someone pushed back i guess
and then it looked like a pile up

now its just interviewing people around the area

Watching the feed, witnesses stated a leo ran over a protester and then arrested the ran over protester and hauled him away. The crowd grew close to rioting after seeing it. Protesters were chanting for police to stop following orders, as well as shame shame shame when they were beating protesters.

Edit: Someone next to camera man taunting police with theme of Imperial March from starwars.

LMAO lol that was hilarious. that was the live stream operator btw.

I noticed just a bit ago the title of the
channel 11 page changed to
"LIVE: Occupy Atlanta occupies Peachtree Street"

they should have kept the original title
