Another blockade, this one in front of the small line of officers (there are more officers down the tunnel past a police barrier). They had many people leave and go behind the blockade, but are keeping two lines directly in front of the cops:pic.twitter.com/GXug592TlS

Things have calmed down substantially from a few hours ago. Less people but they’re still out here in the streets. We’re going to regroup but will be back out in just a few hours to check on the situation/see if police will push them back into the park again.pic.twitter.com/wqmJsqQjV5

Just after 5am here in NY. Protesters have largely moved into the park and have barricaded themselves inside — barriers are still in place blocking the roads with some people protecting thosepic.twitter.com/yUw8x9Mv5q

Protesters have linked arms and organizers are trying to get everyone ready for a possible stand-off with police. Currently not seeing officers actively moving into the area. Reminder, though: barricades are still in the road and blocking streets.

Organizers are holding various demonstrations and giving protesters instructions on how to act/what to do if police arrive. Here, one woman shows the group how to properly fall to the ground and not hit your headpic.twitter.com/W9rcTW9jiQ

An organizer just warned the crowd that police “have cops in riot gear coming down Broadway.” Can’t confirm, but protesters are now performing practice drills in preparation.

There are hardly any barriers remaining cutting off the Occupy City Hall area. Cops and protesters are now standing off.

Huge standoff out here right now. Unclear if officers plan to remove protesters from the park, or what the plan is from here after removing most of the barricadespic.twitter.com/LAAW340eeD

The protesters are cheering after some of the cops left the area. A few protesters made sure no one got too close to the cops. Officers are still holding a line — now it’s smaller.pic.twitter.com/WRFy8SMqAQ

The rest of the cops in the area have left (still a line behind me). Protesters are cheering:pic.twitter.com/gCCIsA6r3x

Protesters are chanting, singing and dancing in the street and inside the occupy zone. Pretty much all officers have left the immediate area now, aside from a few directing traffic:pic.twitter.com/UmQxwFOkAj
