4. The cops are forcibly opening Main Street.

Using bullhorns threatening use of "chemical agents and impact weapons" meaning pepper spray and rubber bullets.

The protesters are not moving, having none of it.

6. Cops clearing Chapman and Lownsdale Squares, erecting cyclone fences.

They've hauled off the remaining tents and structures.

7. People moved to the sidewalks. They're not going away.

Cops are being pretty cool, arresting a few but vastly outnumbered and they know it.

There's 900 cops down there, but MANY more protesters.
