A small band of Occupy SF demonstrators rallied on Thursday evening and was met by police deployed to prevent the establishment of a new camp at Justin Herman Plaza.

Between 30 and 40 protesters gathered at 6 p.m. in front of the Federal Reserve Bank at 101 Market St. Speakers focused on what to do in the aftermath of the police actions on Wednesday, when more than 80 people were arrested and 142 tents were cleared from the south end of the large plaza.

The group was still debating 90 minutes later. Some proposed making 101 Market their new home base. Others called for a march on Justin Herman Plaza or setting up tents in some other visible public space.

The assembly was ringed by police officers. Others were stationed along Market Street and at the plaza. Some officers moved amid the crowd before the speeches began, rather than line up to one side.
