Could the UCPD again be planning another botched off-campus raid?

According to the UCPD crime bulletins (http://police.berkeley.edu/bulletins), UCPD Warrant Detective Bruce Bauer conducted a security sweep at the Marriott Hotel at 1001 Broadway ST in Downtown Oakland on December 7 at 2:36 PM. This is highly suspcious as this is not campus property or even in the city of Berkeley.

I'm willing to bet that this concerns some type of social justice activism, as the only real job of the UCPD seems to be to protect the political status quo of the university.

Reading the rest of the bulletins makes this more clear to me, as almost all of the entries are "crimes" such as illegal lodging (being homeless and sleeping), campus curfew violations, littering, and other nuisance crimes.

Just look at the violence they unleashed on the tree-sit, and the more recent repression leveled at those opposing their torture of animals.
