Police officers at the University of California, Berkeley, raided an Occupy camp at a Berkeley-owned farm yesterday. Nine protesters were arrested for their refusal to leave the property. According to The Chronicle of Higher Education:
The raid followed “weeks of patient dialogue, engagement, and rejected offers of compromise,” the university said in a written statement. The activists said they had camped at the farm to protest commercial development and to spur urban agriculture. Now that they have departed, university faculty members and students can plant their research crops.
