Police Raid Occupations in Nashville and San Diego 
---------------------------------------------------



Police in Nashville, Tennessee, and San Diego, California, have raided
Occupy Wall Street encampments early this morning. At least 30 people
were arrested in Nashville. The activist Kuttin Kandi of the All
People's Revolutionary Front Coalition witnessed the raid in San Diego.

Kuttin Kandi: "Cops started coming in and the media wasn't allowed to
get in, I couldn't even get in. And then they started arresting people
one by one. And then they started arresting the media. They arrested one
of the media folks, I think the whole thing, and they arrested one of
the organizers, Calli, as well. The cops started moving in, and then
they started backing out of the area, like setting up like almost like
an army line. So they were starting to walk down the street and lining
up as though they were calling out platoon lines. They even called it
platoons. They were like, 'platoon 1,' and then they backed up. 'Platoon
2,' and then 'platoon 3!' They were literally like army lines."
