On Saturday, the 6 mo anniv. of #OWS, the police kicked protesters out of Zuccotti and they marched to Union Sq, where they spent the night.

What followed was a four-day occupation of Union Square, where there's apparently a loophole in which a part of the park is open 24 hrs

But then police moved in anyway last night and kicked #OWS, leading to arrests

The #trayvonmartin march apparently threw cops off guard. It was a new crowd and hot-button issue. They backed off for much of today.

But this evening they've cleared most of the park, except for an area that's basically a wide sidewalk

Occupiers expect cops will eventually move in again tonight and make a few arrests. Then everyone will be back the next day to repeat it all
