A few police officers, including a woman in civilian clothes who might have been a plain-clothes cop, came to have a look around. One police officers told the occupiers that they were trespassing, and the occupiers responded that trespassing is only a civil offense which cannot result in arrest. At the time that I left, around 9:30p.m., the atmosphere was fairly chilled.
