Does Occupy LA Have a Future?

The LAPD arrested four protesters early this morning for not dispersing, but the encampment continues, even though Mayor Villagraigosa has declared it illegal.

We talk with the Mayor and others about LA's unique handling of what's come to be Occupy Wall Street West. On our rebroadcast of today's To the Point, a progress report on the Arab Spring.
