Occupy Houston removed from park
Four months ago, Occupy Houston began with big crowds and big ideas. But on Monday, the city said Occupy Houston's time is up.
Police began moving in at dark to clear the park but the protestors stuck around for a while.
"They are trying to force us into the park so they can do a mass arrest, that will not happen. We are Occupy Houston, we are a lot smarter than they think," protester Shere Dore said.
Tranquility Park will now be cleaned and have new sod put down. The city says that will cost at least $13,000.

No violence just a lot of clean up needed.
