Sanitation officials said Wednesday that they expect to haul away 30 tons of debris from the Occupy L.A. encampment. The camp of about 485 tents was untenable because public health and safety could not be maintained, and the park had to be cleared, cleaned and restored for the public’s access. The total volume of personal belongings left behind after the early morning Los Angeles Police Department raid has astonished city workers as books and CDs, luggage, boom boxes, mattresses and dining chairs shattered around surrounded by dozens of collapsed and empty tents.
More than 1,400 police officers, some in riot gear, cleared the Occupy L.A. camp early Wednesday to restore the public spot from being used as a protest camp. The police arrested more than 200 who defied orders to leave a park around City Hall. Before police arrived in large numbers in Los Angeles, protesters were upbeat and the mood was almost festive. As police officers arrived on the place, campers defended the camp and held their ground barricaded entrances to the park with trash cans. Demonstrators elsewhere in California took their message about corporate greed to Black Friday shoppers. Demonstrators used signs to spread an anti-consumerism message. One, 9-year-old Jacob Hamilton, held a sign that read, “What is in your bag that’s more important than my education?”
