Occupy UCLA--Early Morning Raid in Angela Davis Plaza, Police Pepper Spray Occupy Participants at UC Davis

Occupy UCLA set up its tents yesterday and the General Assembly proceeded to rename Wilson Plaza to Angela Davis Plaza.  The encampment held strong throughout the night, but an 5:30am raid by UC police shut it down for the time being.  14 students were arrested on charges of unlawful assembly and refusal to disperse.  All fourteen have been released from custody.

Occupy Davis is still going strong with 400-500 students occupying the quad.  As police dressed in riot gear moved in late this afternoon, the students were able to hold them back with chants of "shame on you".  A few minutes later the police converged again and sprayed the students with pepper spray.
