No pepper spray yet: Occupy L.A. protesters defied the city’s overnight eviction deadline Monday, with thousands of protesters converging on the group’s encampment in a park outside City Hall. The city responded by pushing its deadline back from midnight to 4:30 a.m., which, the LAPD commander said, gave people plenty of time to avoid arrest. Riot police arrested four who refused to move. Meanwhile, a judge is reviewing the protesters' complaint that police have no right to kick them out. If successful, they could be granted a restraining order.
