Occupy Melbourne is facing several arrest charges after the police raided their camp earlier this evening. The CBD entered the camp armed with riot gear and proceeded to block in protesters using a barricade in order to keep citizens from entering or exiting the campsite. There were several reports of police assaulting protestors.
Along with Melbourne, Occupy Cincinnati is also facing the threat of eviction tonight after the 10 pm closing time for Piatt Park. The Cincinnati Police Department is arresting protestors as we speak while their companions chant “The people united will never be divided” and “Who do you serve? Who do you protect?” You can watch their livesteam here. Please also donate to their legal defense fund!
