A spin on the 'midnight' thing.
Police told people here they'd be evicted at 12:01am Sunday. That came and went. By about 9am the protesters thought they had won, and many of them that were gearing up for a fight went home. Then they cleared the park almost without incident as some were asleep and others were out on a protest march. They also asked the occupy representitives to take down some of the baracades that some of the protesters were trying to erect, an interesting spin on things.

"Occupants of Zuccotti should temporarily leave and remove tents and tarps. Protestors can return after the Park is cleared," the mayor's office said in a tweet at 1:34 a.m.
About 10 minutes later, the eviction began.

I'm curious where you're getting this from, or if you were there. All I've read so far said a midnight deadline, and then the eviction happened within a few hours. All the video I've seen is from long before the sun came up. In other news, a NY Supreme Court judge issued a court order to allow the protesters to return immediately. Police aren't letting them in as of yet, despite the order.
Well that only applies to here of course. The land where young people go to retire, rip city, p-town, portlandia, pdx, and such.
Go go pre-coffee clarity.
