Police dismantle camps (Portland)

[nadinbrzezinski]

Police have taken control of both Chapman and Lownsdale squares, taking advantage of a much-thinned out crowd of protesters.

They encountered almost no resistance as they took down tents in both parks. No tents appear to remain in Lownsdale, and Chapman is also almost cleared.

A small group of protesters continue to resist the police advance. Many people departed after the police arrived and the clean-up began.

2. They will be back. I'm so proud of Americans again. I had lost all hope.

I had thought Americans were wimps. Not any more!

3. That's what they said on KGW television, they were waiting for numbers to thin.

Not going to work well for the police...
