Maybe they decided there was too many people and too much publicity (too many people watching Timcast), and decided to back off for a while, maybe just a couple of hours, maybe for the night.

Who knows what's going to happen?

But for a while, there was a record number of cops - two cops for each protester at least, coming at the park from all sides, and Tim was saying it looked like they were deploying as if they were preparing to kettle and arrest everyone.
