Police Confrontation Sunday 11/27: Occupy Long Beach
Channel: occupylb
Date: 2011-11-28

Occupy Long Beach drew a large crowd tonight as we faced the possibility of having all of our belongings confiscated by the police. The police did not follow through with their original requirement. Our belongings were left untouched.

A small group considered the possibility of civil disobedience. Many occupiers stayed in the park past midnight. A small group occupied the park past 1am at which time the police showed up. 

The group left the park after informing the officers that they would continue their fight in court for their rights under the 1st Amendment of the Constitution to the freedom of speech and right to peaceably assemble to petition for a governmental redress of grievances.
