Police Raid Occupy Camp on UC Berkeley Land UC Berkeley police are raiding the Occupy the Farm encampment on university-owned land after protesters ignored another weekend deadline to clear out. Several dozen officers in riot gear arrived Monday at the Gill Tract in Albany, a 10-acre plot used for university agriculture research. KTVU-TV reports that at least nine people have been detained by police. No violence was immediately reported from the raid. Protesters took over the plot a few weeks ago and began planting their own crops, saying they are entitled to access public land. School officials had offered to share the property with the protesters, but talks broke down over the weekend. Officials have said they need the property back by June for research to resume there.
