Better late than never, but what took them so long?
My guess? The police weren't confident they had the numbers and equipment to force the protestors to disperse cleanly. They're getting direction from the politicians above who clearly seem to be telling them to handle things with kid gloves. By 5 AM most of the people had already cleared out, and the remaining ones were tired and unmotivated.
That calculus might change tonight though, as they're getting a lot more manpower called in from elsewhere in the state, plus the National Guard.
