been shouting, saying things to the police officers. but we've not seen anyone get violent, we haven't seen seen police reacting violently. in all it's been a relatively peaceful morning with two groups standing across from one another. now you are looking at a police officer going up to talk to one of the police officers. we're not sure what caught his attention. but it obviously garnered some reaction from the protester. they are now -- protesters. they are now booing at the police. they are chanting now. we haven't heard them chanting in unison for much of the worning. but behind this -- morning. but behind this is the frank frank oga plaza.

police raid the occupy encampment and face off with protesters. >> there you go. sir, you're under arrest for failure to disperse. put your hands behind your back. >> this was the scene before dawn. over the weekend, protesters received several notices that they had to leave the plaza. hundreds gathered downtown in the early-morning hours. >> it's really important to be out here. >> again, about two dozen arrests have been made. in fab, the number we have from our reporters -- in fact, the number we have from our reporters on the scene is 23 people have been arrested. so far things are peaceful but the intersection there at 14th and broadway right next to frank ogawa plaza remains shut down. we are expecting a news conference to begin at any

minute now with oakland mayor jean quan and interim police department howard jordan to tell us the -- to tell us the latest on what's going ton and what's going to happen next. dag dag going on and what's going to happen -- what's going on and what's going to happen to next. are police gonna be out there all day? and jean quan has been a lightning for criticism over her handling of this, from both sides, that protests have been hurting businesses and well as the protesters saying she was behind the raid three weeks ago. >> we want it -- we want to let the viewers know what we're

looking at. a press conference is scheduled for:15. the other thing that was interesting, ken, that you noted about the raid today, this morning, was the number of police officers from all over the bay area. we heard san francisco police, san jose police, richmond police and that's fairly unusual to have the police from so men different cities to help out with the event today. i've never seen the police go to san jose and oakland in those numbers. now, when they declare mutual aid, which happens fairly often in these large-scale events where police are involved, generally they come from the same county. they are doing a mic check.

generally they will stay within alameda county if they need assistance. but to have them come from outside the county like this, this is obviously a well- coordinated event. it makes you wonder what's gonna happen with the other encampment in san jose and in san francisco if officers from around the bay area will be involved in those as well. >> yeah, whether this might have been a practice or a staging area. that they are getting a chance to see -- with the businesses having trouble with the protest, scaring away customers. what else is interesting, after the last police raid on october 25th, the pretesters came right back -- the protesters came

back right. but these occupiers may not want to just give up. they have put so muff time and commitment into it for about a month or so. it still remace to be seen and we have christien kafton and -- and when they left frank ogawa plaza they moved over to snow park. it will be interesting to see what happens. >> i can tell you r i was at frank ogawa plaza the night the protesters returned to the park after the police raid. chain-link fence had been set up across the area. the occupy group was having their general assembly at 6:00 a.m. and then shortly after that, a smaller group began pushing down the fence. there was a lot of discussion within the occupy group about the appropriatedness of doing to -- appropriateness of doing that. there was a small he group that

wanted to maybe -- to make the -- to take the fence down and they have wednesday -- fences up with barbed wire on top of the fences which they didn't have in oakland. we'll try to see what they are gonna do here. as you can there is a police behaviorry cade up apartment 14th and broadway that's preventing people from getting if -- from ifing accidents. >> and this has really but the mayor jean quan in the spotlight there's been recall ef -- that's been recall efors. she was not at hole when quan called -- she -- jean quan was

in d.c. a lot of folks have left. about 23 arrests have been made. but for the move par, we've seen a lot of the police with tear gas monty terse. they -- they haven't opinion much confrontation. and some some of the posters -- protesters yelling at them but no -- confrontation as well. after seeing hundreds of police officers, they parked outside of the coliseum. and tweeted warnings to occupy oakland all night. >> i think this plays a huge

part. technology has made it a lot easier for people to to reach out and let people know what's going on. there was a strong earthquake in indonesia. the 6.3 was centered off the coast. the quake sent those living along villable coastlines running for cover. a washington, d.c. landmark is back open to the public ford first time since this was damaged by an earthquake in

august. and we'll have more on the situation with the earthquake -- the national cathedral just reopened after that 5.8 earthquake. now we need to go to the press conference with mayor quan. >> most of the campers agreed voluntarily to leave peacefully. we came this morning because occupy oakland began to take a different path from the original movement. it was no longer about the abuses of the financial system or the closures or the --or the foreclosures or the unemployed. it became a place where we had repeated violence and this week a murder. we had to bring the camp to an end before more people were

hurt. the encampment has also been a tremendous strain on our city. we had 1 public safety calls to 9/11 that didn't get answered because we were downstairs. i'm sorry. let me say that again i'm so tired. during one of our recent demonstrations, we had 17 public service calls on our 911 line that didn't get answered because police were down -- were downtown monitoring a situation. we've had -- in addition to the violence that the city cannot afford, we had many of our is, many of our restaurants, even our hotels lose hundreds of patrons and potentially lose hundreds of jobs. for weeks we've been trying to meet with the organizers in a recent phone call about the

city mayor. i realize that's the prob -- that's probably the own open -- probably the only mayor. our community has -- already had strained resources and we laid -- we laid off hundreds of people and cut $30 million. these researchers have hurt the quality of life in every part of the city. to get to today, we took every step that we could. sometimes undery sim. we carefully planned the removal. we are gonna is try to care were is -- carry the plan. we met with multiple gripes of those wendall p. we asked him -- we met with many groups and

asked them to leave. and they did. and i want to thank them for them -- thank them. three churches offered temporary housing p. i've tried to do what's right for city, what would keep the most people around the bay area because i know that the reach of the demonstrations is beyond city, we're asking everyone to respect my city's desist to close the encamp machine even if we superior the movement. i'm asking you to not engage in destructive acts. i'm asking you to respect what now has become an overwhelming sentiment. and that we start to work out the -- and that we start to work on the issues that divide

us, no -- i also want to thank the police department. the many county published agencies. my open -- my own city system. thank you very much for attending this morning. booking -- good morning. the city has focused on three goals,s the first was to fatal tate the right to free speech and the third was crowd control. despite theseful is -- this was further underscored by homicide that occur -- occurred that

chief tad i is thought this darr thought it was. system i would like to take a moment -- i would like to tank a moment to thank the mutually partners that superiored the city of oakland today we are kurfy and we acknowledge -- today. we acknowledge itle as is or known for past day days, the city has oa system -- we acknowledge this, that the city has now -- is now in the cleanup phase. i would like to thank the oakland police department for

-- department. this department has serve with commitment. this is further evidenced today by the smooth and peacefulness on the plaza. our goal is to othe street and -- sea -- our goal is to open and -- close the plaza and then be open back at 6:00. going forward, the -- it will not be open for listening. >> anyone attempting to lodge snow the city remains fa itful -- anyone attempting to attempt

to stay will be in violation. good morning. i'm very proud of the way the officers acted today. it's similar to -- i guess you have your other events cure -- ecure -- other events. we saw today how things can happen working together to resolve issues. i want to personally thank the law enforcement agency that came here to help us. they are the alameda sheriff avenue department, the san francisco police department, the san leandro police department. hayward police department. santasanta clara county sheriff's did. fremont police department an last but not least,s the oak

police -- and last but not least, the oakland city police department. before i open it up for questions. i wanted to mention that we did advise the -- in order to minimize traffic downtown, we did advice our employees who live in the building to delay their start of the day until 10:00. that will allow us an opportunity to return our operations to normalcy. we expect that to happen in the morning. the buildings will be open a at -- will be open a 10:00 but we're asking the folks to reduce the demand if any can.

-- the demand if they can. and to the television media, we a -- we would love it if you could scroll that, we're asking business owners to delay the start of the -- start of the day. okay. thank you very much. with that. i will take some questions -- with that, i will take some questions. [ the question is inaudible ] >> the cost will be covered by the city of oakland. this was a planned event not an emergency response.

so we'll be under contract with alameda county sheriff to reimburse their costs. estimated cost 300,000 to 500,000. for today. for the mutual aid. they were in with they to provide system [ the question is inaudible ] >> absolutely. [ the question is inaudible ] >> that's a question better answered by the chief. let me say we will clear the plaza. we hope to have it available for peaceful demonstrations between 5:00 and 6:00 p.m. we'll assess where we are at by 4:00. absolutely no lodging going forward. let me let the chief talk about

the operations. thank you. there will be a strong police presence at the plaza 24/7. i'm not privy to give you the exact numberle and we'll be looking at other alternatives as things go on. and we could also call on other police agencies to help us. [ the question is inaudible ] >> yeah. we intend to allow people to peacefully dissemble. we intend to do that.

[ the question is inaudible ] >> once again, you're watching a live press conference. where officials are answering questions. here's howard jordan. >> we do not have any legal right to remove you. if you are not breaking laws, we're not concerned about your presence and we are -- we are going to be having a strict no- lodging policy. [ the question is inaudible ] >> there is no curfew there. it's a public place. it's just like standing on the 14th and broadway. >> i've known dan since i was

in college. we have our disagreements. my office is moving on. i'm moving on. [ inaudible prak. [ inaud -- [ inaudible ] >> again, we've been watching live coverage with the leaders of the oakland city government. the police chief, the city administrator and the oakland mayor quan giving us the status of where things stand now that the encampment has been shut down. we've learned some details. 32 people have been arrested. nine of them. that's a third of the people arrested that are from oakland. the camp area has been cleared out. the tents removed. let's see what the mayor has to say now.

>> you know that we got bun of the largest grants to buy up the foreclosed homes and you return them to the community. we're also looking at -- we have a foreclosure rental ster. we've been working very close toy with the banks to get loans regauche ad -- renegotiated. and we're looking at new policies. we're asking small banks, if they are willing to take small deposits about 250,000. we don't have a lot of resos -- reserves. we're opening our winter shelter early for the homeless. oakland is really proud -- proud of our transitional housing. we were only one of a handful of cities. we're willing to work -- we're willing to work with anybody to help us help the homeless and work on many of these issues.

>> we have been providing a high level of homeless services the past couple days. my office has not received any communications -- i've received a number of communitycations from the business communities that they've been impacted by loss of business and that the -- and there's concern that the city has been draining resources. >> once again we're watching life press conference, talking about the event where police moved in and cleared out the encampment. >> over the last week i probably was contacted by -- between nine and 12 different camps literally and groupings and had been asking them to

move -- to leave peacefully. many of them did. some of them are in snow park. you will have to talk to the chief about snow park. my understanding is that a good size, at least half of the camp is now trying to look for a -- private location where they can camp similar to wall street. the park on wall street is actually privately owned. they are there because of the owners of that park they are -- they are allowing them. i hear from my friend who is a city councilmember for the lower east side that they are beginning to rent office space and so i think the movement is trying to move on to organizing and not just fight about camping. >> can i just clarify that the city administrator's office has not place -- played any role

with regard to -- with regard to private property. we refrain in that type of activity. there's been some discussion with us in order to mitigate today's -- the campus, we have been working with some of the occupiers at the park. that done mean that snow park is not gonna be removed -- that doesn't mean that snow mark isn't gonna be removed. [ inaudible ] >> and i want to talk about we're not involved in any negotiations about private -- >> i want to point out on the right side of your screen, you can see people are in jumping suits tearing down the encampment at frank ogawa plaza. city officials expect to have the park cleared out by 5:00 or 6:00 tonight. >> this is something they will

continue to monitor as they watch the situation here. we have several reporters out on the scene. you've been watching live a press conference. jean quan says the atmosphere in the camp has chained, becoming more violent, with assaults, a beating and a mur. that's why the officers from all over the bay area moved in this morning. taking down tents and tarps. >> let's listen in to the mayor. >> that's had to constantly move or continue to move. >> we -- >> we know that we might have to go back in. >> this raises questions about what's going to happen in san

francisco and san jose. oakland has been at the forefront. a lot of cities are keeping an eye on this to see how it plays out. [ inaudible ] >> it's clear that today's actions, that they were carefully planned that we were able to get an overwhelming number of people to leave the camp. 33 people that were arrested actually came back to participate in civil disobediences. and the rest left the camp peacefully. >> the mayor certainly sounding

exhausted. even mentioning in the early part of her comments that weigh -- that she was extremely tired. this has taken a toll on her as she struggles -- >> any -- anything that the penal code sections described as lodge. -- as lodging. >> we're getting some clarification from our district attorneys on that. this is something that we witnessed two years ago in berkeley. so we're fortunately -- fortunately, we have some experience in dealing with that. >> okay. we're gonna be available to answer questions again. we'll have another media briefing today at 1:00. >> once again you've been watching live a press conference with three very

important officials. mayor kwan, dena santana. we're look over the scene of frank ogawa plaza. we did get some new information from city officials. 32 people were arrested. nine from oakland. things were quite peaceful. there are some problems for the morning commute. traffic is shut down at 14th and broadway. the city is asking those who work near the plaza not to come in until 10:00 this morring, just an hour from now. >> okay. very, very busy morning. kraig debro has been following the raid since early this morning and he joins us now. >> reporter: and just to followup, businesses have been told not to even come here until 10:00 a.m. we're on the north side of the

plaza. in you look behind me. you see oakland city workers and what looked to be biosas ard soughts -- biohazard suits. they are out here cleaning up and -- cleaning up and sweeping up the plaza. it seems like after -- in order to clear the encampment, mayor quan allowed the occupy protesters to return. number seemed to grow. bell -- well, this morning, you just heard it, quan seemed to acknowledge that the experiment was not working. >> the encampment became a place where we had repeated violence and this week a murder. we had to bring the camp to an end before more people were hurt. >> reporter: chief jordan said

police made 32 arrests. nine of those people had oakland addresses. the police handled themselves well. no injuries. police moved in at 6:00 this morning with just a little sunrise. they moved in from all sides. what they did before,ty dave the -- they gave the order to clear the encampment and if you didn't clear you were gonna be arrested. police moved in. in one instance there was -- there was a person inside the tent. police went to that person undereated him as he wassing -- as he was being hauled away. i asked him why he wanted to stay. >> that's my home, that's my house. to hold down my house. >> following that arrest, there were three other people at the

top of a flight of stairs. those people decided they wanted to be asked. police asked them very politely too leave. they were arrested. we've had a low of dre'ers, you've seen broken windows. police had objects thorn at them. there were some injuries. none of that took place this morning that we were able to see and we've been low pressuring to allie rasmus at 14th and broadway. she has not seen it over there. so by all accounts it looks like there was very smooth police operations involving not only -- you had santa santa clara county sheriff deputies. reporting live -- here's some protesters here. last-minute people.

can't really understand what this are saying. there are some last-minute protesters out here. reporting live from oakland, kraig debro, ktvu channel 2 news. >> looks like a small group. all right. kraig debro, live. thank you. we have been monitoring the situation in snow park to see if the protesters will head their next. the park is much smaller, a much smaller occupying encampment. so far the crews have seen about a handful of people make their way over too -- make their way over to snow park. >> people are here not because they want to be but because they have to be. the city needs to recognize the poverty is a real issue. >> just moments ago, oakland police chief howard jordan saidee been working with occupy protesters at snow park. he says that does not mean the encampment will not be removed.

just that it will not be rehive -- removed today. here are live pictures where you can see a few protesters set up there. this is about half a mile from frank ogawa plaza where the name encampment was growing up. the police chief said hands off snow park for now. >> right. >> so it will be interesting. let's check this with sal and see if this is having an impact on the traffic. >> not really. the bay bridge toll plaza here, you can see traffic is moving along pretty well. >> well, i wouldn't say pretty well, pretty normal. it's backed you up for about a 25-minute, 30-minute delay. people are getting through with no problems onto bridge. interstate 880 oakland. slow traffic here passing the

coliseum on the right-hand side. it does slow all the way up to 20 and then it breaks into the -- into downtown oakland. if you look at the road sensors down to berkeley, it's still pretty slow. 8:4 let's go to steve. fog around. north bay, mostly clear right now. the peninsula, parts of the south bay, east bay. once that burns off it will be sunny side up. on thursday evening, this it -- it will get cole around here. the next couple days, pretty quiet. 40s and 50s on temperatures. some of that fog reduced the visict. >> the low clouds went around. everybody coming down out of the northwest. it's a cool pattern. nice and -- the nights are

longer but the days are shorter. temperatures in the mid-60s for -- and then late thursday, early friday, a system comes. if you are just joining us, oakland city leaders have just wrapped up a news conference on this morning's raid on the occupy encampment. hundreds of police officers from as far away as gilroy made 32 arrests. alley -- alley ras husband -- allie rasmus has more. >> reporter: now you can there's fewer than a does police officers. off in the distance we see a couple of hundred police officers kind of standing down

and kind of taking a break. there's just a small group of protesters now sitting in the circle in the middle of the intersection here. it was a much different story from what this intersection looked like at 4:30 this morning. occupy oakland protesters told us that yesterday night they decided to leave the camp as a group and come out into the streets so when we arrived at 1:00 a.m., there were hundreds of people out in the middle of 14 theal -- of 14th and broadway. they said they knew of and were aware that police were going to break up the encampment later this morning. when the breakup happened, there was no violence -- violence. but some resistancele we didn't see anything -- we didn't see officers use any sort of crowd- control methods. we just learned about an hour

ago that clergymen did not leave the camp when police issued a disbursal order. they were arrested. oakland police confirmed about 20 members of clergy and -- we're told 32 people were arrested. when we watched the people being led away with zip ties, they were not resisting arrest. overall, things have been relatively peaceful here at 14th and broadway. >> now, the occupy oakland encampment broken up by the police, we'll tell you how things were different this time around. we'll be right back. look! here she comes!
