Occupy Roundup: Streaming DC Eviction Watch
Jan 30, 2012
The US Park Police says they will begin to enforce a ban on overnight camping in McPherson Square at noon ET today. Protesters were told they must remove all signs of camping, including bedding and storage equipment. As noon came, instead of leaving, protesters chose instead to erect a giant tent over the main statue of Civil War Union Army Major General James B. McPherson.
