4:31 am
atm and they are justly been there in their sleeping bags. nothing has happened to them yet they're just being vigil about them and aside from that, people are kind of going back to the main area over there at justin herman plaza. some people are just going back collecting their stuff but they are staying in the general area. there were told that the campbell also be cleared. there is a mixed message that they are teen --seen from the city, they say they have an meeting with the mayor tomorrow at noon so when they got a message to clean out from the camp there were really taken by surprise. it made it really upset they hear it is they had a meeting pending with the mayor and then this happened. they did get a warning ahead of time from the chief of police say that they had to clear out the tense and it will be here on market street. they did not clear out the tents

4:33 am
not seen an increase in police officers. in fact there has been a decrease in police officers so it does not look like anything is set up to happen at the justin herman plaza that could change any time. my now, you see may be a sparing of police officers around there may be a total of six or eight of them around here, you can see a group right over here there are like four in the other two are down over by the atm. other than that you do not see a big increase of any police force out here. >>justine: all right, we'll keep our eyes and ears on this. now the people for sf, the occupy movement are no strangers to controversy. this is video from the last raid that happened at justin herman plaza it happened exactly one month ago on october 16th and continued into the early morning hours of the next day. several
4:34 am
protesters were arrested well after san francisco police gave them a written notice telling them that the park code does not allow tents or camping. the protesters have said that they have the right to assemble and the park and gives them the room that they need for the growing movement. in the meantime, thousands of occupy cal protesters were gathered outside of sproul hall on the campus of uc-berkeley in this happen late into the night. the protesters have again said uptentsw despite being--the protesters set up tents despite being told by the police that that is not allowed. >>reporter: more than 1500 people voted whether they should put tents up in front of the hall, and nearly
4:35 am
everyone was in favor. >>reporter: occupy protesters started pitching tents as soon as the vote was over while the university police looked on. last wednesday they did the same thing in a different location on campus and the police quickly moved in and removed the tents and hit those that resisted with batons. >> this is like a sculptor and a symbol promoting the occupy at wall street movement. >>reporter: former u.s. labor secretary now a professor at uc-berkeley said the following.

>> we must give people the opportunity to speak up about what must be done. enable our democracy to function as it should, not with money and not simply with the privilege but work the ability of people joined together. >>reporter: so far the university police have taken a hands-off approach and have not remove the tents from sproul plaza. >>justine: more now on the occupy protest the police said they were forced to release pepper spray on occupy protesters in seattle. officers said they were attempting to arrest a woman that swung a stick at them when the protesters intervene. what we are watching now is milk being poured on the eyes of people being sprayed with pepper spray. they say a 19 year-

5:01 am
2:00 a.m. this morning this is video of the police officers moving in. they made about eight arrests, apparently no injuries and the protesters gave themselves up. they are angry because they said they have been here for days and it worked out an agreement with the city to allow them to be here as long as they're not in front of the atm directly or in front of the path for pedestrians. one protester told me that he had been up for about two to three days just to keep an eye on the streets but then all of a sudden he says about 200 to 300 police officers in riot gear showed up and quickly swooped in and took out the bridge. that is why it is no longer here to what is here are police officers just standing in from the restaurant, just in front of marketplace. and at justin herman plaza you get the feeling that it is festive

5:05 am
bay once they rid themselves of the patchy fog, they will reveal lot of sixties here as well. future forecasts are set for about 3:00 p.m. on thursday this the first chance for some shower activity. the green indicates wet weather infiltrating the north bay. by 6:00 p.m. it looks like it could shift southward down to places like oakland and through hayward. this will not be a big washout by any stretch of the imagination. by 7:00 a.m. on friday looks like the rain intensity will increase not only to the north bay but through the heart of the bay area as well and we will continue to see light showers for the most part but we will continue to see is stretching into the weekend as well. you'll see that on your seven day around the bay forecast. we have showers only thursday and friday but stretching into the weekend as well. the rain chances increase in taking a mature temperatures. we struggle to get out of the low 50s. as for traffic there are no
