In many cities, including most prominently Oakland and New York, tent encampments on public spaces by the Occupy Wall Street movement have been cleared in early morning raids by police (read about the Oakland situation here). This time, at least, police violence seems to have been minimal. But what is regrettable is the use by city leaders of the lame excuse that "crime" problems necessitated the end of the encampments. It may be that the Occupy Wall street movement must generate new meaningful actions to build its momentum, but the claims that the encampments were generating unacceptable levels of crime is both false and reflexive. To the latter point first.

(KGO) -- Police and "Occupy Cal" protesters squared off Wednesday evening in front of Sproul Hall. Police move in on Occupy Cal protesters. Occupy Cal moves ahead despite UC Berkeley administration’s warnings. On Monday, the UC Berkeley administration sent an email to students stating that setting up any encampments on campus property would not be tolerated.
But when Occupy Cal protesters voted overwhelmingly Wednesday to pitch tents on the lawns outside of Sproul Hall despite the warning, clashes with police ensued — the exact result campus officials had said they hoped to avoid. #occupycal: Read complete Daily Cal coverage “I think we’re all fighting for the same causes,” said Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Harry Le Grande. “We appreciate your concern about the economy and inequality in our country.” General Assembly establishes encampment on Sproul steps. Drawing on Occupy movement, protesters turn out en masse. Large turnout at Wednesday’s Day of Action showed signs that UC Berkeley’s signature student protest movement, widely perceived to have been losing its muster in recent years, may have found strength in the nationwide Occupy movement.
After more than two years of protests that decreased in size, Wednesday’s demonstration saw the crowd on Upper Sproul Plaza swell to more than 1,000 individuals. Those involved attributed the national appeal of the Occupy movement as a sign that student protests may be able to carry Wednesday’s momentum into the future. #occupycal: Read complete Daily Cal coverage.

By Loic Hostetter and Danyal Budare [UPDATED at 6:12 p.m.: Occupy UCLA pitched its first tent in Bruin Plaza Tuesday, but its campout was short-lived.]
Originally scheduled to begin Monday, the first tent was pitched by the group late Tuesday morning, but university police and the fire marshal told the group their tent needed to be taken down before they left Tuesday afternoon because they did not have the necessary permits. According to the California Code of Regulations, temporary shelters, such as tents, are not permitted on UC campuses, unless appropriate permits and official permission has been granted, said UCPD sergeant Miguel Banuelos. The group’s occupation of campus will have to wait for other reasons. Occupy UCLA simply does not have the support base to stage a campout, said Joseph Silva, a third-year history student. “We don’t have the numbers right now,” he said. Occupy UCLA formed three weeks ago on Facebook, and has held several meetings since in Bruin Plaza. Occupy UCLA needs more focus to be effective. By Editorial Board The “Occupy” movement has begun to filter onto college campuses, and UCLA is no exception.
But the campus movement is lackluster, symptomatic of the unorganized, unfocused nature of the nationwide protests. While complaints of government and corporate corruption may be valid, protesters have not presented a united front when addressing these issues. Similarly, they haven’t proposed valid alternatives or ideas for change. Protest veers off the right path with unlawful conduct. By Editorial Board If the 200 protesters marching down Westwood Boulevard Wednesday were looking for attention, they found it. But not all of it was productive. Though their goals were similar, Wednesday’s march was a far cry from Occupy UCLA’s short-lived campout and quiet table on Bruin Walk just a week ago. The protesters started at the heart of campus in Bruin Plaza and headed into the Village. The intersection of Wilshire and Westwood boulevards was shut down. A disturbance was made, a voice was heard. And while many of the marchers were UCLA students, they weren’t led by their peers.
