CONFIRMED: Paul Kelly was seen trying to tell MPD to arrest students. MPD refuses to arrest anyone until they meet with the student leaders. Kelly reportedly furious and screaming.

Most students are currently at the MSSD gates. The administration and student leaders are still in a meeting.

One injured student has a possible fracture of his knee/leg. Three students were taken to the hospital with the aid of Kathy Wood (see her post over at Mishka Zena’s site…) and DPS did nothing… when they were asked b y ambulance workers if students were injured, they said, “No,” despite blood being on the ground mere yards away. Brian Morrison’s toe was actually injured by the gate when it was dragged open by DPS.

DPS and PPD woke students up initially by throwing construction materials at the tents (heavy pipes, wood pieces, etc), and then bulldozed the tents down WITHOUT CHECKING TO SEE IF STUDENTS WERE INSIDE.

Suzy Rosen-Singleton had an argument with DPS chief Mel Batten-Mickens, and asked why they were not warned before this took place, despite MBM’s promise to inform them beforehand. MBM said “We didn’t arrest anyone. We would just warn you before arrests took place. There were no arrests.” Upon being pressured further, MBM said she didn’t want to talk anymore and left the scene.
