as police moved in to take one final tent off the plaza. you can see at one point a police officer ripping it away and moving away from the crowd. >> someone tried to defend it once it was being snatched and then about five or six cops swarmed around him and basically detained him. it just seemed like a very, you know, premature and really immature move on their part. >> reporter: that tent was the last tent in an attempt to occupy sprow plaza. it sat on the steps of the plaza and we watched as police went over to ask protesters to put it away. at about 10:30 police decided to take it but even as a protester was taken away, the angry crowd followed. >> shame on you, shame on you. >> reporter: this all followed a crackdown overnight when police moved in to clear up the plaza what had been filling since midday yesterday. a sergeant told us that almost

40 people arrested after refusing to leave. the university has said the crowd could stay as long as they didn't bring tents, didn't use amplifiers, don't have -- didn't have fires and didn't try to sleep there. protesters brought tents anyway and police came in twice overnight to clear everyone out. so you're taking a live look at what is left of the "occupy" cow encampment that was here, some cord board, some sleeping material, this seems like a line is going to be drawn at these tents at sleeping bags at sleepingover night here. they are going to try to gather up a crowd for this evening. live, claudine wong. >> thank you. oakland police are investigating a late night shooting in west oakland. police found a man shot around 11:00 last night near 34th street and magnolia. he was taken to the hospital and is in stable condition. police are not saying what led up to the shooting. no arrests have been made. details of a federal raid

ronald bridgeforth was any of those things, his attorneys said he shot it out with police officers in 1968. appearing with his attorney this morning outside the courthouse, bridgeforth says he will plead guilty in his role in the gun battle. he says his family was one of the reasons bridgeforth made his decision. >> well, this seems to be the right thing to do and in the end it's always about family. >> reporter: what do you mean? >> no, let's just go on. he's taking responsibility for his actions. he wants to be a model for his sons. he wants his sons to continue to be proud of him, for the man that he is today and not on that day of november 5th, 1968. >> we are ready to do business with him again. if he doesn't want to plead guilty, we have the witnesses available to testify. they have a memory of this event, a very clear memory of this event. i spoke to one of them

yesterday and we would be ready to proceed. >> reporter: this is ronald bridgeforth in 1968, in november of that year south san francisco police stopped him and two other men in a car on el camino real. the officers suspected the men were trying to use stolen credit cards. bridgeforth jumped out of the back seat and fired at the officers. the local assistant district attorney says bridgeforth pleaded guilty the following year but then jumped bail. three years later he was one of nine men accused of killing a san francisco police officer. the men belonged to the black liberation front, the blf was formed by former black panther members who believed the movement was too soft. bridgeforth shot up the ingleside station. it was more than an assault, though. officer john lynch day. bridgeforth -- he says that's why bridgeforth is turning himself in and not for any

higher moral purpose. >> i think there are a lot of reasons that one might show up after 42 years, perhaps one of them being that the san francisco homicide has gone away. >> reporter: the chief deputy district attorney says bridgeforth could be in court next month to enter a plea. reporting live in redwood city, kraig debro, ktvu channel 2 news. san jose police are investigating a number of accidents involving pedestrians and bicyclists. at 63:00 yesterday even a -- evening a car struck a woman while she was crossing jackson avenue. she later died. two people are hospitalized from separate incidents on tellee road. two other accidents this week killed a pedestrian and bicyclist. this morning a woman who living on the avenue says the intersection can be dangerous. >> most of the cars sometimes
