In statement is was ended. but in execution not so much. Seems that the mayor wafled on it . City official went in they had bulldozer to take down the barricades then they compromised on using the bulldozer.
Basically not taking immediate and decisive action on the morning they went in has allowed the chaz to linger on.
I think we had someone lay infront of a tractor that kind of stopped it.
