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

Maybe they had to shut down the feed to relocate.

Haha.. well they are cops.
But that would be the reasonable thing to do.

My honest guess?
They out wait the midnight deadline, then when the onlookers start to thin out and get tired of waiting they rush the protesters.

It is.
Whether or not it amounts. It definitely has the general anticipation of an historic moment.
I'm digging it. Hoping the police just stand down. Way to many people to arrest which kinda makes it pointless.

Exactly the feeling I am getting as well.... and I am starting to get the feeling that the cops will stand down as well.

Nearly time. I can't look away. My girlfriend is up and has joined me in watching and she is not usually into such things...

i for sure would not let the cops rip up my tent

id jack one in the jaw they came through
ripping my tent up..

there blocking the street!!
unblocking and blocking

Thoughts like this are what will keep me up all night watching to see what happens.

I feel bad for the cars trying to get through though.

Me too. I'm working a we hour shift until 7 am EST so I'll be here.

Kinda like waiting for the ball to drop in Times Square.

Consider this: Portland is paying $18,000 an hour for the police presence tonight. Not including the fire, waste management, ems, and Federal officers on stand by.

cops are starting to line up.

That's a lot of money.



Again, hope no one gets hurt. They estimated a minute ago, a crowd of 5-6,000 people at least.

I was thinking the same thing haha. I think someone on the vid said it too.

The cops from Pops feed are just kind of standing there.... I guess I would too in their shoes.

Fox news said "maybe 1000."
Fox news has such a funny way of seeing the world.
I imagine you can predict a Fox new family members pay rate by how many occupy protesters they can see on the street.

Chanting "OUR STREETS!"

Kinda gives me a chill.
