6. I just watched the coverage the Lehrer Newshour gave this story.
I am still shaking with rage at the actions of the OPD.

If she is allowing the protestors back in, this can only be seen as capitulation.

7. I don't know, my facebook is buzzing with sightings of
riot geared police staging up again. Maybe they're looking for another opportunity to crack some heads.

We are all Scott Olsen
Final update for tonight, via Marcus: "A couple mins ago Occupy Wall St. met and reached consensus - $20k and 100 tents are on the way to Oakland. Spread the word! via Favianna Rodriguez."

14. Reports: Police in riot gear at the State building
on the other side of City Hall.

I don't think OPD will let this go. They are in a no winner and I bet they will strike anyway.
