Footage from the February 4th, 2012, eviction by National Park Police of the #OccupyDC protestors at McPherson Square in Washington DC. Police arrived for an inspection near 6 a.m. The day went relatively uneventful and peaceful until the police became aggressive, for no apparent reason, near 4:30 p.m. The incident where an officer was hit with a brick occurred after all of this footage. Initially the camera points south. To the left of the camera is a large tent that does not come into view. Behind the camera (north), as you can see in some shots, is another group of officers, a few of which appear to be SWAT unit. One group of officers is essentially moving the protestors south while others are moving protestors north.
