LAPD Stands Down on Occupy LA
For days, OccupyLA had been told to evacuate its camp outside
Los Angeles City Hall by 12:01 a.m. on Monday, November 28.
Throughout Thanksgiving weekend, the deadline approached and
tension increased.
When the police-led evacuation didn't
happen, the movement moved into the streets where they were met by
members of the Los Angeles Police Department armed with batons,
helmets, and other riot gear.
Reason.tv spoke with Occupiers and fans of the movement from inside
the encampment at City Hall and followed the police developments
into the morning. There was no clearing of the Occupy camp this
time, but Los Angeles authorities have said they are determined to
clear the space sooner or later.
About 3:30 minutes.
