Occupy Albuquerque removed from campus by police Oct 10 2011

Shorty after midnight, in the wee hours of the morning on Monday, October 10th, 2011, a large amount of New Mexico State Police appeared from no where in complete riot gear, paddy wagons, and K9 dogs to order the Occupy Albuquerque protesters from their camp.

According to news sources, as well as the President of UNM, the permit which the group had applied for was the wrong permit. The protesters are, in fact, required to file a different permit which allows for overnight stays. The group has been in constant contact with the administration and why this was chosen to be addressed at midnight is rather unclear.

The video here is a recount of last nights incident with the police as well as the group making every attempt, both past and present, to obtain the proper permit for overnight stays on campus during the Occupy Albuquerque/Wall Street movement. There is still quite a bit of confusion within the group as we are simply not getting straight answers from neither the administration nor the police. It appears as though the left hand has no idea what the right hand is doing within the UNM Administration or the police.
