at least at one point a tent was set up inside the lobby of the bank. shortly after that, police moved into the bank and started making arrests and taking protesters out of the bank. we talked to a couple of people here on the scene, including one occupy protester, who told us what the message was here today. >> i mean i guess the goal is to get attention towards the fact that the banks are benefiting, a, from the crisis, and b, particularly from the accumulating student debt. and so i guess it is more of a pr thing to get the message out, to get people like you from the media to come here and to report on that. and since it is totally peaceful so far, i think it is a good idea. >> i think it is a waste of the taxpayer dollars. >> reporter: are the police involved here? >> yes, it has been happening all day, the news helicopters have been buzzing the building. we're up there on the 27th floor. it has not been good. >> reporter: you're looking at a live picture of the san

francisco sheriff's bus parked in front of the building. that is where the occupy protesters who have been arrested are being loaded on to. we have a muni bus driving through, kind of blocking the shot. but there are dozens of people inside the bank of america that have been arrested and are being led out one by one in plastic cuffs, being loaded onto the sheriff's buses, being separated into male and female groups. men on one bus, women on another. there is not a count of the number arrested but it looks like it is still in progress. but it could be dozens of arrests by the time this is all over. i should also mention that california street between -- between davis street and front street, actually between market street and front street, it is two blocks. it is shut down during the commute time. so if you have anybody traveling in this area they should avoid this part of the financial district. live, downtown san francisco,

ken wayne ktvu. and there is another group of college students marching through san francisco, upset about the tuition hikes and cuts to public education. more on the impact this is having on city streets. tom. >> reporter: well, we're going to set the scene for you right now. there are several hundred people gathered here in front of the state building, right across the street from the federal building, on golden gate avenue between larken and polk right now here, it is organized and peaceful. so organized that they have even announced to the various participants when the buses may go back to uc berkeley and davis. now let's go back to the helicopter, as you can see here the entire length of that block is closed. which means if you want to use golden gate avenue you can forget it. because you're not going to be able to get all the way through. and while this is not particularly an important commuter route, all of that is simply suspended right now.

now i want to take a look at pictures, this afternoon, members of the group confronted police at a bank, 101 california where hundreds suddenly and inexpectedly entered the lobby. ultimately they were told by police if they didn't get out of there this would be arrested. shortly after that, the police literally pushed people out in the street, where there was a pushing match and shoving match. some inside remained, where there was a sit-in which tied up the entire street and tied up traffic. it ended only after one participant in the group asked for them to stop, so they can continue right here on golden gate avenue. going right back up to the helicopter as you can see there are several hundred people gathered here. and some of the folks are doing just what they wanted to do, which is to peacefully protest and to talk about the problems they're having, regarding the education and the economy in general. that is the situation, we'll stand by, see what happens.

reporting live, tom v acar ktvu. and one issue driving the protesters is the high cost of tuition. and tonight they have even more reason to be upset. the csu board of trustees voted to increase the fees another 500, bringing the tuition to nearly 6000 a year. compare that to 10 years ago, when the state universities up and down california was $1600 a year. and tonight the city could be very close to making big changes to the occupy camp at justin herman plaza. more on the new health issue that is causing concern, and the latest indication that the camp's days are numbered. >> reporter: well, take a look behind me, you can see the busy camp here, but in had the strongest language -- the strongest language, the mayor said the clock is ticking down for the protesters here. >> i want to see the demonstration like today. >> reporter: the san francisco mayor, ed lee, exited an

afternoon meeting with the occupy san francisco representatives. he and other city officials indicated time is running out for the camp on justin herman plaza. the camp includes an estimated 200 people and 198 tents. city officials have over and offer cited health and safety violations. >> the possibility that people can transmit infections is a concern. >> reporter: today's meeting came today after an early morning police raid just across from the plaza on the at at tents. >> i did give the order to the police chief that there cannot be an expansion as to what is a health problem in the city. >> they can raid us, but we'll be back. >> reporter: others are trying to meet health and safety codes. >> even though we have a small community, the idea that we can address them overnight or just immediately is ridiculous. >> reporter: they are aware that a raid on justin herman

plaza is immeant, even as they hope for land to protest. >> at the same time we are here for the reason. we're in the financial district because the movement is about the economic problems and the economic collapse. >> reporter: now just about an hour ago, the head of the department of public works toured the camp. coming up at 6:00. we'll show you more and also what this person was looking for. for now, reporting live in san francisco, david stevenson, ktvu. and across the bay at uc berkeley, police warned the student occupy protesters all day, saying they have to take down their tents or there will be consequences. but tonight that stand-off continues. more live on the cal campus to tell us what is happening, jeneean. >> reporter: frank, the university police officers are walking around here all day, you can see behind me there are two officers talking to student protesters. at any moment really, police could come in, take down the tents. here at the hall, you can see

students don't seem to be bothered one bit and don't have any plans to move. they passed the day making music, studying and cleaning up at their camp. and every hour they hear the same message on the bull horn. >> i am ordering you to removal tents and other camping equipment. failure to do so you may be subject to citation or an arrest. >> reporter: not a single person moves. in fact they brought in 40- pound bags of dirt to make it more difficult for authorities to move the at at tents. >> people will stand and block arms and block the tent. >> reporter: this man drove in from southern california last night to support the students at cal. there are about 20 tents here, students who are not camping are coming in between classes to support the camp. >> and if there are not the -- the police feel they could bully people. >> reporter: the chief is aware of the out rage and concern over last week's incident and

it is being reviewed. today there is an increased presence around the camps. >> at this point we're looking at all the possibilities to make sure the course of action we take is efficient, effective and safe. >> reporter: he said that students are allowed to demonstrate around the clock. but it is against university policy to camp with tents. >> we're working hard with the demonstrators, however, i can't talk into the plans at this point. >> reporter: police are not willing to share when they will move into the camp, again, demonstrators don't seem to be bothered and many say they are willing to get arrested. and as the afternoon and evening drew on, more and more supporters gathered here in front of the hall. reporting live from berkeley, ktvu. and a hot bed of activity for weeks, things were calm today at frank ogawa plaza in oakland. these pictures were taken before dawn. as you can see only a few people were there at the plaza.

one identified herself as part of the occupy movement. but there were no tents or other problems, the police kept watch to make sure nobody set up camp. some people staying near the lake say they're worried that police could target them next for eviction. and the alameda county sheriff today refused to release an occupy protester who could be deported to see home country of mexico, even though the district attorney decided not to file charges against him. supporters were there where his hearing was originally set for this morning. he was arrested on monday as he was there during a protest. federal authorities asked alameda county to hold him after his prints were flagged in an immigration data base. he came to the united states to study at uc berkeley but dropped out of that school three years ago. and occupy wall street

last night at the hospital. the dean of the school, rich lions, says there is counselors on hand today to help the students and staff. >> we all had a body blow yesterday as a community when we found out that it happened. and when we learned this morning it was a student it was that much more so. it is somebody who was part of the community. >> reporter: according to this youtube video, travis worked as a shift supervisor for a security company. he dropped out of school before but was giving it another try, hoping to pursue a career in international business. and police say they don't know what travis' intentions were or why he brought the gun with him to school yesterday. the uc berkeley officer who fired at him will be on paid leave, while the district attorney does a full investigation. ktvu channel 2 action news. and texting while driving, it caused the death of a little girl walking in this crosswalk in the park. today, the driver is sentenced.
