Cops break up Occupy Miami camp

[Scurrilous]

Police moved through the camp in downtown Miami Tuesday night, ejecting demonstrators and making a few arrests

"Scores of police swept through the downtown location of Occupy Miami Tuesday night, ejecting several dozen demonstrators and arresting a few of them while shutting down the protest camp after three and a half months.

The police, wearing riot gear and banging batons on their plastic shields as they advanced, cleared demonstrators from within half a-dozen blocks of the camp site, on a lawn just west of the Stephen P. Clark Government Center. They also tore down tents and makeshift dwellings left on the site.

The operation was carried out almost completely without violence, though some of the demonstrators said one of their number was clubbed when caught up in an advancing police line.

Six Occupy Miami protesters refused to leave, staying inside a flimsy barricade of plywood and old mattresses, and were presumably arrested — but reporters, chased from the camp along with demonstrators, didn’t witness it."
