In yet another midnight police raid, Occupy Dallas eviction under way

"Dozens of Dallas Police officers holding shields, batons and wearing helmets about to enter the #Occupy camp," tweets WFAA (Dallas, TX) reporter Jason Whitely. By various reports, about 50 Occupy Dallas protestors are gathered. Police are in riot gear. Media were ordered by police to move away from the camp (at a distance that would make direct observation impossible), or face arrest along with protesters, according to various sources. Another WFAA reporter says she's covered the Dallas police department for 8 years, and she's never seen this type of action. Describes it as an "unusual show of force." The Occupiers must have had something really dangerous on-site, like books.
