Residents within the neighbourhood began occupying the park immediately to prevent the residents from being evicted.

City workers erected a blue fence which has been manned by the private security agency hired. The original group of protestors are largely trapped inside the perimeter. Press and legal observers were denied access to the interior of the park.

As a crowd began to grow outside of the fence, TPS intentionally trampled the crowd from horseback in order to prevent the fence from being knocked over.

The crowd grew to a couple hundred, as residents have been coming in droves to show solidarity and disrupt the operation.

Cops armed with AR-15s are patrolled the perimeter, alongside unmarked vans who are id-ing the protestors.

Tear gas, pepper spray and rubber munitions had all been deployed, and "several" arrests have been made. Among the arrests were a pregnant woman, and this man who's being carried from the park haphazardly and unconscious.

Construction equipment brought in to bulldoze the camp.

City Twitter account going on damage-control for arresting houseless people. Don't have images of them, but the TPS also deployed drones for ID-ing protestors.
