Anti-Wall Street protesters were evicted by police in Baltimore, the latest city to crack down on the Occupy movement.
Police cleared out around 40 demonstrators who were camped out near the Inner Harbor early on Wednesday, reported the Baltimore Sun.
Protesters said they would not give up and would continue to keep raising awareness about perceived corporate greed and income disparity throughout the United States.
“You don’t keep hammering on a tactic when a tactic is producing diminishing returns. The physical occupation is just one part of the broader movement,” protester Cullen Nawalkowsky told the Sun.
The eviction took place at around 3 a.m., protester Mike Gibb told the Baltimore Brew, saying I looked “out of my tent and there they were—police with riot face masks and shields and batons in their hands. It was something!”
Gibb added that police were respectful and there were no incidents. “This was probably the best of any Occupy evictions there’s been,” he added.
