Police Attempt to Infiltrate Tree-sit
"This is Typical UCSC Police Behavior"
On the night of November 8th, police attempted to spy on the UCSC tree-sit and were foiled when protesters learned of their plans. A student saw a man in his early 20's get out of a police car and get on a bike heading towards the tree-sit. The student then called friends at the tree-sit, who confronted the man and asked him to leave.
Later that evening, at 8:45, police announced to the tree-sit supporters that they were there illegally and ordered them to disperse. In response, dozens of supporters arrived and a Students Against War (SAW) teach-in moved its location to the base of the tree-sit. Many supporters said that they would sleep at the site in case the police decided to attack again.
These incidents followed the launch of a tree-sit on November 7th in opposition to UCSC's Long Range Development Plan, which calls for the addition of 4,500 students to campus and the destruction of 120 acres of forest. Read More
