Cambridge police removed four people who identified themselves as members of Black Lives Matter/Cambridge from the front door of City Hall, where they had chained themselves early Wednesday.
Two protesters, both women, used U-shaped bike locks to connect themselves to the door handles of the building around 6 a.m. The women were also linked to two other protestors, both men, with plastic tubing wrapped in red duct tape.
Police cleared the protesters around 9:30 a.m. by removing the door handles. Police then slid a tarp-like material underneath the demonstrators and pulled them away from the entryway.
Police surrounded the protestors — the women remained locked together — in the corner near the entryway.
Officers have blocked supporters’ attempts to provide water to the people who are locked together. Police went as far as to pull a bottle out of one person’s hand. View Story Images, reports from the scene of the Cambridge protest
Demonstrators have chained themselves to City Hall to draw attention to the issue of affordable housing.
However, officials have provided water of their own to protesters to keep them hydrated.

Hahaha. Now drag them out if the way and let them figure out how to get out of their mess.
Or was it Skip Gates? I get so confused.
All housing is “affordable housing” to someone, or nobody would bother building it, because you wouldn’t be able to move it.
bill the scum bags for any cost related to removal of any or all of the door.
the way to afford housing is to work harder
Dag nabbit, I always hope these things end like that scene in “The Watchmen” where Rorshach gets out of his prison cell, and I’m always disappointed. :-)
Hose them down.
Then leave them to it and use the side entrance.
Too bad Sam Kinison's not around to do a rift on "housing", like he did on food.
I hope the police removed them with belt sanders.
Like they work. Make them pick up trash along the highway and federal min wage until the entire cost for police, fire, ems, maintenance employees, etc. salary is covered then add on fuel/vehicle maintenance costs and any damage to the building.
I would place a unisex toilet sign in front of them to give the sexual orientation confused people a place they can use the restroom!
