Police raid remnants of Occupy camp

The block-long stretch of tents was the final vestige of last year's Occupy encampments, and it was cleared by a phalanx of police in a quick raid that began at 11:35 p.m. Wednesday. A few campers heeded warnings and left immediately, but 39 who didn't were arrested on charges of illegally lodging on the pavement.

A half-dozen activists showed up shortly after 1 a.m. to protest the arrests, but by then the mini-settlement was all but gone. Except for occasional screaming by some campers at the 70 assembled officers, the clearance went quietly and smoothly.
