    Occupy at the RNC

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     Hearing commotion from a nearby protest, helloneumann says she went to see what was happening as the protesters were forced to move from the front of a business building to Lykes Gaslight Park across the street. "While the scene was noisy, everyone was relatively calm. Police used their bikes to form a wall of sorts to push the crowd towards the park," she says. "The crowd moved without issue and the police stayed across the street."
    - Anika3, CNN iReport producer

    Supporters of the Occupy movement gathered in Lykes Gaslight Park today in downtown Tampa. Just a few blocks away from the site of the RNC, the sound of drums and yells gathered a crowd. Police surrounded the streets around the park but no arrests were made.
