NOLA's Occupy Camp has been in place for a number of weeks and has usually supported numbers of approximately 100 protesters. It is unclear what exactly the city proposes for the camp but it is clear that a focus on maintaining good public relations will be paramount. Administration officials and police departments in New York and California have recently come under heightened public scrutiny due to reports of excessive force used by police during the dispersement of their respective Occupy camps.
