Occupy San Francisco Called “Illegal”

After dismantling fifteen tents and arresting seven protesters at Occupy San Francisco last night, local police chief John Loftus told the main encampment in Justin Herman Plaza over loudspeaker that their encampment was illegal, the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

No raid followed Loftus’ statements, but protesters are on alert, the report states.

Occupy San Francisco is spread over three locations in the city, which are collectively smaller than affiliated OWS protests across the country, with roughly 60 people camping on a nightly basis. Read more on SFGate here.
