About 2 dozen of the demonstrators at the peace rally in front of the downtown LA federal building did sit down in the pedestrian walkway across Los Angeles Street this morning, March 21 at 9 a.m.

Los Angeles Police gave a 3 minute "unlawful assembly declaration", repeated at 2 and 1 minutes before escorting the protestors to a nearby police bus where they were handcuffed and boarded.

The crowd cheered and chanted as the arrests were made. There was no resistance by those arrested in the planned civil disobediance.

A few corparate television news crews were there, and from a monitor held by the Fox Ch. 11 crew I could see they had a live helicopter picture of the protest before the sit down began on Ch. 11 .
