On Fourth of July, the five day Occupy National Gathering event closed with the Independence Day March. The march came to an abrupt end when the Philadelphia Police barricaded the area around LOVE Park due to a shooting in the area. There was a large police presence as evidenced by the photos below. Kevin Gosztola wrote up the night's progress in his blog, The Dissenter.

I first read the story of last weekend's Anaheim Police overreaction, on Kevin's blog. Here's the same story in The Los Angeles Times. According to a CBS2/KCAL9 reporter on the scene, police offered to buy the cell phone videos of a number of bystanders. The police do not like cameras! Here's a related story about the constitutionality of shooting photos or video of police officers.

More Occupy photos.
