Portland police remove Occupy Portland protesters from downtown street | OregonLive.com

Portland police remove Occupy Portland protesters from downtown street | OregonLive.com:

"For the most part it was a peaceful interaction between protesters and police. Two men who sat in the middle of Third and Main were physically removed by police. Officers made eight arrests in all, with protesters facing charges of second-degree disorderly conduct or interfering with police if they didn't follow orders.

Police moved in calmly and without engaging protesters, most of whom looked on quietly. "

Not a bad result at all. Fortunately the vast majority of protesters wanted the street open anyway. Hopefully we're done with this diversion.
