  • Police backing up paddy wagon toward protesters. #
  • Some diehards still in the intersection of 12th & Cedar. #

  • Pretty much everyone on this block is a journalist. #
  • Crowd heading back toward capitol. Situation is getting ridiculous. #
  • Cops just made a big push. Crowd (including me) scattered. Peope still in streets. #

  • Police just made the order to clear the streets. Here it comes. #
  • Give you a hint, first word starts with an ‘F’, second word is police. #

  • About a dozen kids are riding bikes and skateboards in a circle in the intersection. #
  • http://twitpic.com/a8ib – Police of all stripes. #
  • Just a mass of protesters, journalists and rubberneckers on the bridge. Police on both sides. #
