I marched this afternoon (Sat) in support of the OccupyLA movement. We met at Pershing Square and had a rally there. We left Pershing Square with about 100 people.  They didn't have a parade permit, so the marchers had to stay on the sidewalks and obey the traffic lights.


Two blocks down and a left turn on Broadway and we got bunched up, half on one side of the street, and the group I was with on the other..  As the crowd gathered, some ended up in the street where a confrontation with LAPD took place.  I think one or two marchers were arrested.


After a short stop at City Hall, we ended up in front of LAPD headquarters.  Another rally started there so I left and walked back to my car.  The area where the occupiers had camped out for 60 days was fenced off and cleaned up.
