To combat the spilling of Occupy LA protesters from the City Hall Park into the streets, the LAPD -- led by Commander Andrew Smith -- has slowly and systematically encircled Occupy LA revelers at 1st and Spring in downtown Los Angeles.
Police presence was minimal prior to the passing of the 12:01 AM deadline.
