Riot police start taking down Occupy Wall Street camp

Occupy Wall Street protesters have been ordered to leave their long-term encampment in Manhattan, but they have been told they can return once the area has been cleaned.

At about 1am local time today, police handed out notices from the owner of Zuccotti Park, Brookfield Office Properties, and the city saying that the park had to be cleared because it had become unsanitary and hazardous.
