police appeared ready to move in on the group. About 30 police officers were at the scene, most of them in riot gear. About 20 people set up tents on the lot late Monday night, and Tuesday afternoon the camp was bustling with people. Food and water were available for anyone who asked.
Police gave the protesters a 30-minute warning about 8:30 p.m. to leave the camp or be arrested. But at 9:50 p.m., police surprised protesters and observers alike when several of them removed their riot gear and all the officers promptly drove away. The way I feel about this is that I feel like both the police and occupy could have token a better route to handle this situation. The occupy say they had permission to stay in the lot which they really didn’t and if they didn't they should of have not been there in the first place. For the police they should always handle these situations in a different manner, police always resort to violence. Police should know by now violence never solves anything it just makes a lot people mad.
