Several dozen Arlington County police officers in riot gear are currently stationed on the Virginia side of the Key Bridge, waiting to see if protesters from the Occupy D.C. movement decide to cross.

The heavy police presence on the Rosslyn side of the Potomac is accompanied by the presence of D.C. police mid-span and on the Georgetown side, and a U.S. Park Police helicopter overhead.

A couple hundred protesters are said to be marching in the District, compared to just over a dozen “Occupy NoVA” demonstrators, mostly Verizon CWA union members, who marched down Wilson Boulevard around 3:00 this afternoon.
