March 30, 2012 marked the 6 month anniversary of Occupy Kansas City.
Occupy Kansas City started on September 30, 2011 at a public park situated between the 10th District Federal Reserve building and the World War I Museum and Liberty Memorial. After 6 full months of occupying the public space, OccupyKC became the longest continuous public occupation in the country.
To commemorate the occasion, Kansas City’s Parks & Rec decided to clear the camp of all structures and unclaimed garbage, in preparation for upcoming events and park usage as the weather continues to warm up. In just a few hours and a few dumptrucks, the camp was cleared of all tents and camping equipment.

There are many videos from the Occupy the Midwest Conference online. I’ve included a few embeds below. It seems that not only are we the people not allowed to peaceably assemble and speak our minds in the Public Streets, but even the Public Sidewalk is unacceptable as soon as SLPD says so. But it’s okay for them to rip people off that sidewalk and arrest and injure them, and it’s okay for them to block the entire intersection while they haul away peaceful, non-violent protesters.
