Early Tuesday morning, the New York Police Department descended on Zuccotti Park to force Occupy Wall Street protestors out, claiming it posed a health and safety threat.
The raid came without warning, but just prior, Roots drummer Questlove tweeted an odd specatacle just near the site:
It’s likely many people witnessed and shared the same sight, but with over 1 million followers, and hundreds of re-tweets, there’s no doubt his Tweet had significant reach. And after being credited for “predicting” it, Questlove said the following:
“I didn’t predict it. I literally drove into it by accident. Drove an exit early off FDR and thought someone declared war.”
