A Senator was arrested with others occupying a park in Atlanta, Georgia.

Some of the people waiting to be arrested waved small American flags. About 40 to 50 people remained inside the park after midnight, including Sen. Vincent Fort (D-Atlanta), former Atlanta city councilman Derrick Boazman and Joe Beasley, the southern regional director of the Rainbow PUSH Coalition. Several hundred others were in the street, chanting and carrying signs. Fort was arrested around 1 a.m. Bozeman and a man in a wheelchair also were arrested.

Motorcycle police moved in about 12:15 a.m. Wednesday and a helicopter circled overhead. Officers were also on horseback. Police went from tent to tent with flashlights, urging people to leave before a second warning was issued
