Police gather at Occupy Atlanta

Tensions seemed to be escalating Tuesday night as the police presence increased at Woodruff Park. Mayor Kasim Reed said Monday he wouldn't evict Occupy Atlanta from Woodruff Park until a group of clergy met with the demonstrators to try and work out a solution. That meeting occurred late Tuesday afternoon, but little was accomplished. Reed said if no resolution was reached "we are going to clear the park."
