These include: On November 20, 2011, the Occupy Baltimore general assembly approved a more comprehensive statement explaining its message.

[6] The statement expressed solidarity with the larger Occupy movement and thanks to various Baltimore unions for their letter of support.

It also specifically defended the right of demonstrators to an ongoing encampment at McKeldin Fountains: On November 15, protesters interrupted a speech given by Karl Rove on the Johns Hopkins University campus.

[10] The sheriff arrived unannounced the next day, along with a presumed representative of Deutsche Bank who refused to identify herself or talk to the homeowner.

As part of their "Schools Not Jails Occupation" campaign, Occupy Baltimore activists entered a fenced site (owned by the Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services) and began to build a red-painted plywood structure to represent schoolhouse.

After negotiating with the activists in a bid to get them to leave, Maryland State Police arrested six people for trespass, and dismantled the building.

Before they could bring the "rec center" to the site of the demonstration, they were stopped by a police officer backed by a SWAT team.

[15] These emails suggested private collusion between business owners and the city on the topic of Occupy Baltimore.

The paper also points out that the city withheld a number of emails, including those referring to police strategy and to the decisions leading up to eviction.

[17] Toward the end of November, the movement applied for a 6-month permit to occupy McKeldin Square and to set up 4 large and up to 40 personal tents.

The protesters had been using the electrical outlets at the square for their basic needs, including heating food and charging cell phones and laptops.

Police arrived in riot gear, closed off surrounding streets, and allowed protesters to retrieve their personal belongings prior to departure.
