I heard that the capacity on pier 57 is around 700 but there are about 2000 people herded in there. That's not counting who's at central booking.

I had a bunch of activists staying at my place and their friends are still penned up. They're not "arrested" but they have yet to speak with a lawyer. There's no way the police are going to process them in the required 24 hour period. Some people have already been there for over 30 hours.

The police basically want to keep these people off the streets as long as possible - preferably until after the convention ends tomorrow. I hope this city gets its ass sued to the wall.
