UC Berkeley students occupied Wheeler Hall on Friday in response to the Regents' decision to raise tuition fees by 32% in the spring. Police reacted in kind, kicking off a contentious stand-off that would last the entire day.

  • Adam Astan is a trouble maker. He is making Cal students a bad reputation with his uncivil behavior. Berkeley has a long tradition of free speech and peaceful protest, but UC Berkeley community will never tolerate aggression toward law enforcement officers.

  • Hey Taboo: So the small businesses that they are raising the rent for are family owned. In my 4 years at that school, I have never seen a student working there. From what I have seen, its like a family and friend business. They are trying to drive these businesses out in order to get more corporations in there.

  • I wonder if these liberal kids have waken up to the reality yet?

    Want more free stuff from the gov? Still believe they can take care of you from cradle to grave??

    d'oh

  • Many feel the actions take by police are examples of police brutality. My question to you is this, what other measure to you expect police to take when a protesters are disregarding an established line?

  • Wanted to let you know I saw your response. Thanks. I'm glad to hear it too.

  • We didn't occupy ONE room in the second floor, we occupied the whole second floor. They didn't come in at 5. They came in at 6:30 am, and failed at opening our doors until 5. They never came in to begin talks, they came in to take us out. There were never any negotiations between the cops and the occupiers.

    Hella Occupy, Hella Solidarity.

  • great segment, CalTV!
