Pat King is live now as he flees Ottawa
His base is asking what to do if/when police move in. Notice that he does NOT reiterate that they should stay peaceful
When asked what the plan is, he talks about himself and provides no direction to those he has left behind

They are making note of a large amount of police presence which suggests this isn’t typical
Side not: judging by his breathing, if they want to take him down, doing it after a 20meter foot chase is likely

Looks like he’s sticking around for a bit and not feeling too great about the police presence on the ground
What’s absent here is any sense of “hold the line”

Once again a large amount of police presence is noted and Pat now playing the role of Paul Revere, who in this case sacrificed his getaway to return to warn the troops
With not an ounce of hyperbole he just said they need to wake up a certain group of trucks because they are the troops that are behind the line
This is a very bizarre game of redneck GI Joe

He is warning the occupiers to stay in their trucks with doors locked, claiming they have impunity as they are "in their homes".
Encouraging people not to cooperate is how you get people hurt
Remember this is very much the "well he shouldn't have resisted crowd"

They are now infighting on the CB.
Telling Pay he needs to come up with a plan.
Telling him to go back to bed.
Criticizing him for how he is handling this and reminding him that unlike him they don't have a hotel room to sleep in
They are about to eat their own

They continue to ask for the plan. What to do when cops role in
What is clear is that Pat does not have one other than honking the horn to wake up "the troops"
He is deflecting to Chris Barber

The others continue to state they will not watch their fellow citizens be "dragged away". They are willing to step in to step it and be dragged away too.
The effort to step in and/or resist is a security risk for police, by standers, etc
The downtown core should be avoided

What is clear is that NO ONE has a plan. Either they foolishly thought this day would never come, or they have been left behind by the team who would have normally been in charge.
The live feed has stopped (for now)
TL;DR The police appear to be in the position to move in on the Occupiers downtown OT. They (Pat King and the crowd) have no clear plan for response for when/if this happens, and they are quite clearly panicking
