3:21pm – People locking arms in the street. KGW has the best stream.

same as KGW but a few seconds earlier. Looks like about 300 people standing in the street defying police order. If they are waiting to be arrested, they should sit down and lock arms.
3:57pm – Additional riot police joining. http://www.emergencystream.com/video_streams/OR/Portland6.html has 2 cameras running.
4:47pm – Police seem content to play the waiting game. The park has been cleared using front-end loader and dump trucks and is being fenced off. Occupiers set up tent in front line.
4:53pm – Police numbers suddenly double – now 4 deep at front line. Cops have not put on their gas-masks yet.
