"The power structure is fighting a losing battle. They can't destroy all the evidence. I was there last night and driving over to the Plaza from Loring to help people move things. Just as we got to the corner by Orchestra Hall and were going to turn left, all hell broke loose. They had a school bus size vehicle and some other large ones to put arrestees in, and the cop cars just didn't stop coming. I wonder what the ratio of cops to demonstraters was! It was a huge waste of city resources."


this email went out in wee hours of the morning
"MPD just rammed horses into occupiers, pulled people off sidewalks and made arrests of peaceful protesters while we marched. 9 arrested, jail support vigil at the people's plaza now.

The end of the day was such a contrast to the start, and to the early days of October. The class war was never going to be easy."


After evicting protesters attempting to reoccupy Peavey Plaza, Minneapolis Police arrested a dozen during a peaceful march. Videos show officers pulling several people off public sidewalks, slamming one violently into the street and deliberately censoring the mainstream and independent press.
