In Los Angeles, the Occupy LA protesters were asked by Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa to leave their camp at City Hall by 12:01 a.m. on November 28th. There were about four hundred tents outside City Hall, and by 2:30 a.m., most of the protesters had moved to streets in the area. A few hours later, police told the crowd that they had to leave the streets in five minutes, declaring it an unlawful assembly. In return, the some masked protestors threw water bottles at the riot police. According to the Los Angeles Times, the police did not want to get rid of the protestors, but merely clear the streets so that morning commuters could get to work. Four were arrested but as of yet there are no plans to raid the camp.
