Everyone just received this alert. As usual, protesters were not happy to see it appear on their phone.
Protesters are now debating whether they should occupy the park. Disagreements between people — both local and people who traveled from as far as Portland, OR — as to if they have enough to occupy without risking heavy arrests. Curfew is in 15 minutes. #Louisville
The crowd has thinned considerably.
The park is virtually cleared out as curfew approaches. Kentucky State Police just drove by. #Louisville
Curfew. Only press remain at the park. Protesters have mostly gone to the nearby church.
