one protesters told us by his count roughly 100, ending up removing 15 tents and cited at least seven people who refused to leave. police say the campers have been crowding out the sidewalk, that they received many complaints from people saying it was too hard to get by. a spokesman for occupy sf said they didn't have a chance but to expand away from justin herman and the federal reserve. >> we need to expand. we're severely over cruded at justin herman plaza. tensions have been high. health and safety is a big concern for us so we needed to expand anyway. >> reporter: mayor ed lee telling the "chronicle" that he's tried to be reasonable with the protesters as far as tolerating and accommodating them at justin herman and the federal reserve, but he felt camping out in front of 1 market

street was a violation of the rules they agreed to. that's a quote from the mayor. speaking of the mayor, one of the occupy sf protesters, the spokesperson we just heard from, tell us they do have a face-to-face meeting with the mayor this morning at 10:00 a.m. they say their main goal is not to ask for permission to stay, but to let them know they'd like to stay. he was even saying their main goal here would be to take over the civic center plaza. reporting live on market street in san francisco, bob redell. jon, laura. >> thank you very much, bob. occupy cal right now gaining some strength as thousands of demonstrators are on the cal campus back there with their tents despite the university dismantling them just last week. christie smith live in berkeley with the latest. christie, what are the occupiers saying right now about yesterday's shooting on campus? rfr right now they're not really talking about that. they're more focused on their movement and what's going on here. there are quite a few police

officers here as well. in fact, the school of business is on the other side of campus, but we are expected to learn a little more about that at a press conference expected at 8:30 this morning. i want to show you what's happening here on the steps to sproul hall. of course, you know there is an order from the university not to set up tents. that has been standing. but you can see this morning the tents are up. there are at least 12 or 15 of them out here and quite a few demonstrators. i wanted steve to pan to the other side because what you also see out here way up there, it says -- you can see the occupy sign there. there are officers up there. we've seen them from alameda county. we've also seen them from uc berkeley. what's happening here, they've got at least a dozen tents, some people in them clearly defying the university's position. but the atmosphere out here, people are talking, they are blowing bubbles. they are walking around. some of them are on bicycles this morning. we have some video, though, from

last night when thousands of people showed up at sproul plaza to hear former labor secretary robert reich talk about the fight for economic equality. occupy cal voted last night to go ahead and set up the tents once again. they've got a contingent out here, a sign out here from occupy oakland out here in support, uc police again also out here. i haven't had a chance to speak with any officers yet, but what the demonstrators are telling me is that the police have told them several times that camping is illegal and that they do need to leave. they need to take the tents down, but they say that so far the officers have pretty much kept their distance. what we have is officers watching this group of demonstrators and demonstrators watching the officers. that's the latest from me reporting live at uc berkeley. i'm christie smith, back to you guys in the studio. >> all right, christie. thank you very much. a former white house official gave a symbolic speech to the

occupy movement at sproul plaza. former labor secretary robert reich spoke to the crowd last night and urged them not to give up. he says moments -- movements, that is, start with moral outrage and specific demands come later. >> the fundamental problem is that we are losing equal opportunity in america. we are losing the moral foundation stones on which this country and our democracy are built. >> that speech by reich delivered from the mario savio steps. savio was an activist back in the '60s who fought for civil rights. it is 4:37 right now. uc student leaders are taking their demands to the state this morning. student regents and leaders from uc berkeley and uc davis will put pressure on state lawmakers to bring more funding back to higher education. students had planned to protest outside the board of regents
