<div></div><p>By Colleen Long and Verena Dobnik - Associated Press </p><p>NEW YORK (AP) Hundreds of police officers in riot gear raided the
Occupy Wall Street encampment in New York City in the pre-dawn darkness
Tuesday, evicted hundreds of demonstrators and demolished the tent city
that was the epicenter of a movement protesting what participants call
corporate greed and economic inequality. (<strong>Photos below</strong>).</p><p>The police action began around 1 a.m. and lasted several hours as
officers with plastic shields and batons pushed the protesters from
their base at Zuccotti Park. Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said around
200 people were arrested, including dozens who tried to resist the
eviction by linking arms in a tight circle at the center of the park. A
member of the City Council was among those arrested during the sweep.</p><div class="entry" id="entry_12345"><div class="col entry_right full"><div class="entry_content news_no_design"><div class="entry_body_text"><p><strong><a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/11/15/zuccotti-park-eviction-po_n_1094306.html#liveblog">(CLICK HERE OR SCROLL DOWN FOR LATEST UPDATES)</a></strong></p><p>Tents, sleeping bags and equipment were carted away, and by 4:30
a.m., the park was empty. It wasn't clear what would happen next to the
demonstration, though the new enforcement of rules banning tents,
sleeping bags or tarps would effectively end an encampment that started
in mid-September.</p><p>"At the end of the day, if this movement is only tied to Liberty
Plaza, we are going to lose. We're going to lose," said Sandra Nurse,
one of the organizers, referring to the park by the nickname the
demonstrators have given it. "Right now the most important thing is
coming together as a body and just reaffirm why we're here in the first
place."</p><p>Hundreds of protesters marched through lower Manhattan as the workday
began, chanting and looking for a new space to gather. A state court
judge called an 11:30 a.m. hearing on the legality of the eviction,
following an emergency appeal by the National Lawyers Guild, and issued a
temporary restraining order barring the city from preventing protesters
from re-entering the park.</p>
<div id="ad_mid_article" class="ad_wrapper">As
of midmorning, though, the park remained surrounded by police
barricades and officers keeping everyone out. A few dozen demonstrators
sat on the sidewalk just outside the police line, waiting. In the
meantime, workers used power washers to blast the plaza clean.</div><p>The surprise action came two days short of the two-month anniversary
of the encampment. Mayor Michael Bloomberg said he ordered the sweep
because health and safety conditions and become "intolerable" in the
crowded plaza.</p><p>"From the beginning, I have said that the city has two principal
goals: guaranteeing public health and safety, and guaranteeing the
protesters' First Amendment rights," he said. "But when those two goals
clash, the health and safety of the public and our first responders must
be the priority."</p><p>He said that people would be allowed to return as soon as this
morning, but that the city would begin enforcing the rules set up by the
park's private owners banning camping equipment.</p><p>That left demonstrators wondering what to do next. There was talk
among some Tuesday of trying to occupy another park or plaza, but there
are no immediate plans to do so, Nurse said.</p><p>The eviction began in the dead of night, as police officers arrived
by the hundreds and set up powerful klieg lights to illuminate the
block.</p><p>Officers handed out notices from Brookfield Office Properties, the
park's owner, and the city saying that the plaza had to be cleared
because it had become unsanitary and hazardous. A commander announced
over a bullhorn that everyone had to leave. Many did, carrying their
belongings with them. Others tried to make a stand, even chaining
themselves together with bicycle locks.</p><p>In contrast to the scene weeks ago in Oakland, where a similar
eviction turned chaotic and violent, the police action was comparatively
orderly. But it wasn't entirely bloodless.</p><p>"The cops hit my legs with a baton," said demonstrator Max Luisdaniel
Santos, 31, an unemployed construction worker, pulling up his pants to
show some swollen scars on his calf. "Then they shoved my face into the
ground."</p><p>He pulled open his cheek to show where his teeth had cut into the flesh as he hit the stone paving.</p><p>"I was bleeding profusely. They shoved a lot of people's faces into
the ground," Santos said as he stood near the park Tuesday morning,
looking shaken. He said he lost his shoes in the scuffle, but wasn't
arrested.</p><p>One person was taken to a hospital for evaluation because of breathing problems.</p><p>City Councilman Ydanis Rodriguez, who has been supportive of the
Occupy movement, was among those arrested outside of the park. Kelly,
the police commissioner, said he was trying to get through police lines
to reach the protesters.</p><p>Protesters were able to grab about $2,500 in cash that was at the
plaza before police kicked them out, said Pete Dutro, who is in charge
of the New York City movement's finances.</p><p>"We got all the dough," Dutro said. "It's on my person."</p><p>Bloomberg said the evacuation was conducted in the middle of the
night "to reduce the risk of confrontation in the park, and to minimize
disruption to the surrounding neighborhood."</p><p>"The law that created Zuccotti Park required that it be open for the
public to enjoy for passive recreation 24 hours a day," Bloomberg said.
"Ever since the occupation began, that law has not been complied with,
as the park has been taken over by protesters, making it unavailable to
anyone else."</p><p>He said the city would contest the motion filed by the National
Lawyers Guild, a civil rights organization that has been representing
arrested protesters.</p><p>Concerns about health and safety issues at Occupy Wall Street camps
around the country have intensified, and protesters in several cities
have been ordered to take down their shelters, adhere to curfews and
relocate so that parks can be cleaned.</p><p>The surprise ouster at Zuccotti Park came as the movement was at its
most vulnerable. A rift had been growing in recent weeks between the
park's full-time residents and the movement's power players, most of
whom no longer lived in the park.</p><p>The protesters who actually made things happen the ones who planned
marches and rallies and set plans into motion held meetings in
donated office space high above the park, in skyscrapers just like the
ones housing the bankers they were protesting.</p><p>Some residents of Zuccotti Park have been grumbling about the recent
formation of a "spokescouncil," an upper echelon of organizers who held
meetings at a high school near police headquarters. Some protesters felt
that the selection of any leaders whatsoever wasn't true to Occupy Wall
Street's original anti-government spirit: That no single person is more
important or more powerful than another person.</p><p>But other protesters felt that Occupy Wall Street needed to be bigger
than Zuccotti Park that they had, in a sense, outgrown it.<br>
Occupy encampments have come under fire around the country and even
overseas as local officials and residents have complained about possible
health hazards and ongoing inhabitation of parks and other public
spaces.</p><p>Anti-Wall Street activists intend to converge at the University of
California, Berkeley, on Tuesday for a day of protests and another
attempt to set up an Occupy Cal camp, less than a week after police
arrested dozens of protesters who tried to pitch tents on campus.</p><p>The Berkeley protesters will be joined by Occupy Oakland activists
who said they would march to the UC campus in the afternoon. Police
cleared the tent city in front of Oakland City Hall before dawn Monday
and arrested more than 50 people amid complaints about safety,
sanitation and drug use.</p><p>In London, authorities said they were resuming legal action to evict a
protest camp outside St. Paul's Cathedral after talks with the
demonstrators stalled.<br>

<div class="lb_body"><p>Via HuffPost Miami:
</p><p>When an Occupy Miami member offered evicted protestors vacant
apartments in a building he owns in Downtown Miami's Overtown
neighborhood, it seemed like the perfect solution: the 'Peace City'
space would provide headquarters for the movement and shelter a small
faction of the group's most vulnerable members. But it hasn't gone well.
Other tenants say the building has become a cesspool of drug use and
violence while non-resident Occupy Miami members are trying to distance
themselves from the 'radicals' -- all while the two factions are
wrestling for control over Occupy Miami's social media sites and future
plans.
</p><p><a href="http://www.miaminewtimes.com/2012-03-22/news/occupy-miami-descends-into-drugs-and-chaos-in-an-overtown-apartment-building/" target="_hplink">From the Miami New Times: </a>
</p><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><blockquote>The feud between the Overtown occupiers and more
mainstream members has only gotten worse. The two factions are now
battling for control of Occupy Miami's social media sites. The
movement's main Twitter account recently announced it had been "hijacked
by a small, non-consensus group of radical members." The Occupy Miami
Facebook page was also temporarily hacked by someone inside Peace City.
Meanwhile, the Overtown occupation is slowly driving away more moderate
members.
<div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><p>"This is a black eye on the Occupy movement," says Shannon
Reaze, an Overtown community organizer and Occupy Miami supporter who is
now helping tenants move out of Paz's building. "The violence and drugs
going on here are way outside of what I thought Occupy stood for. This
place is destabilized."
</p><p>...The supposedly hard-core activists here spend their days
drinking and getting high. And as Peace City devolves into lawlessness,
the most committed occupiers are leaving. Local landowners and
politicians want the place shut down, while cops are suspicious. Yet as
long as Paz wants the protesters around, nothing short of a demolition
order can keep them out.</p></blockquote><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div></div>

<div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><blockquote><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><p>Cecily McMillan, an Occupy Wall Street activist once profiled
in Rolling Stone, suffered a seizure Saturday night during protest
action near Zuccotti Park. Many on-scene reported Ms. McMillan had
trouble breathing after she was tackled and handcuffed by law
enforcement.
</p><p>A video uploaded to Youtube late Saturday night purports to show
the attack. Two women can be heard commenting, Theres Cecily, then
there is confusion as the police clearly perform a violent take-down on
someone in the crowd.
</p><p>According to Jeff Sharlets November, 2011 article about the
Occupy Movement, this may be Ms. McMillans second violent encounter
with police.

</p><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><blockquote><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div>At one point, a woman who appeared to be suffering from seizures
flopped on the ground in handcuffs as bystanders shouted for the police
to remove the cuffs and provide medical attention. For several minutes
the woman lay on the ground as onlookers made increasingly agonized
demands until an ambulance arrived and the woman was placed inside.
<p>By 12:20 a.m., a line of officers pushed against some of the
remaining protesters, forcing them south on Broadway, at times swinging
batons and shoving people to the ground.
</p><p>Kobi Skolnick, 30, said that officers pushed him in several
directions and that as he tried to walk away, he was struck from behind
in the neck. One of the police ran and hit me with a baton, he said.
