And it was uncertain at the time if police intended to force their way through solidarity demonstrators to get more police in or arrested solidarity demonstrators out. What people outside did not know was that the "deal" that had been reached to get occupiers out with misdemeanor citation was made with police and authorities and not the occupiers themselves.
