Santa Monica remains closed from Sawtelle to at least Barrington. There are 12 police cars parked on SM at Purdue. Report is that earlier two MTA buses stopped in the middle of SM, blocking two lanes. Intentional? Buses now gone.
There are seven helicopters and a blimp. (The blimp was over the Federal Bldg last night too. Live video surveillance is very strongly suspected.)
There were around 150 demonstrators, moving west. The block in front of Dolores is now quiet, but the street is still closed. Many more police are arriving. Large squads at Butler.
Black SUV just pulled up with maybe 20 cops hanging off of it. Two cops got off, vehicle continued on.
Some bystanders are applauding the police.
