Live Blog for #OccupyWallStreet: Day Four, Evening Edition
By: Kevin Gosztola Tuesday September 20, 2011 6:28 pm

Good evening. FDL continues to cover the latest developments related to Occupy Wall Street. Those who are unaware of what happened over the past twelve to twenty four hours, here is a quick summary:

Early in the morning, some time around 7:30 am, the NYPD came over and on a megaphone said that the occupation had 5 minutes to take down any tarps that were put up overnight to keep everyone dry as it was raining. Those at the occupation site decided to hold a group meeting to discuss what to do, whether to comply and take down the tarps. The police did not give any warnings. There was no explanation or a second and third warning that if police orders were not obeyed people would be arrested. The NYPD entered the camp and picked out individuals arbitrarily.

Protesters took the tarps and used them to cover media equipment. The police came in and seized the tarps and made some more arrests. Media equipment was seized and the livestream of the occupation came to an end. Seven people were arrested. One person’s leg was injured and was transferred to the hospital. Civil rights lawyers showed up and NYCLU also indicated support for helping the occupation defend the continuation of the encampment.

Now, let’s resume the live blog.
