U.S. Park Police removed Occupy DC’s information tent from McPherson Square Thursday, arresting one protester in the process.
The information tent – one of the few structures still standing in McPherson after a police raid nearly two months ago – was taken down because, police said, they found sleeping bags, clothes and suitcases inside. That’s a violation of McPherson Square’s camping ban, which forbids protesters from sleeping or storing sleeping materials in tents.
