Live feed for Portland Occupy protests (they are due to be evicted, by police, at midnight tonight).

Hmm.... They are evacuating the news apparently.....

That doesn't sound good....

No. It's not good. The media being told to leave, is always a precursor to Police action.

Yikes. the feed is showing a news report. Are they re-booting the cam/laptop?

reply to post by moonzoo7


Yes, they are rebooting the laptop.

I could be wrong but that injured cop looks like he is just wanting workmans comp.

News is not being evacuated. At least not from what I can see.

update on the officer: The officer was struck in the leg with a large glass bottle, they just loaded him in an ambulance.

According to the protestors they are. This coming from twitter reports, so who knows...

And what do you mean the cops have nothing up their sleeve? Do you think the cops just plan to stand there now that they are positioned?

The cops have plans.... None of which are really working all that well.

The bikes are back

2:29 a.m.: Police have cleared the Justice Center steps.

2:28 a.m.: Police have retreated south on Southwest Third Avenue past the Justice Center and people are milling about on Third Avenue, blocking the street. Cars are stalled. Some cars are backing up on Third to get out of the jam.

2:23 a.m.: Police are trying to clear bystanders from the entrance to Justice Center.

2:20 a.m.: A speaker is urging people to congregate in Chapman Square. Says:
"Together we are too big to jail."

2:20 a.m.: On both Southwest Second and Third avenues, the crowd is pushing against police. Officers in riot gear are retreating as the people in the crowd exhort more spectators to take part.

2:15 a.m.: The police horses and van have left, and more protesters have spilled into the street at Southwest Second Avenue and Main Street.

2:07 a.m.: People are crowding the intersection at Southwest Third and Main Street. They're holding up cameras, recording the event. Police say they're going to use chemicals to clear Main Street.

2:06 a.m.: In case of tear gas, one man yells to the crowd, do not use water, use vinegar.

2:04 a.m.: A white police van with the loudspeaker is heading west on Southwest Main Street, telling people to clear the roadway, but the demonstrators are holding their ground.

2:03 a.m.: A police officer is injured when kicked by one of the horses.

1:55 a.m.: Crowd is chanting: "Non-violent!" Others chant: "I don't see no riot here, take off the riot gear! "I don't see no riot here, take off the riot gear!"

I'm not certain how anyone can get injured that badly from a bottle. A little bruise perhaps? This guy dropped like he got struck by a bullet.

Really? That sucks... Like I said earlier. I feel bad for those who got stuck in their cars and what not....

Excellent find!

reply to post by gimme_some_truth


I'm sure they do have a plan .. the crowd seems a lot smaller than what it was an hour ago (had to be over 10k) but it's still nowhere near small enough to rush in

reply to post by hero_25


Awesome. Thanks.
I am at work and haven't been able to keep up, and don't know how many other links have been added. Anyone can feel free to recap.

The sound truck is currently in that other feed.

It is just the cops making announcements to vacate and what not.
