Hours ago, Los Angeles Police began the process of breaking down the barrier created at the ucla encampment on a first attempt to approach, officers were forced away by demonstrators. The lapd is retreating from the encampment as the crowd has converged on at least three dozen officers, who were apparently holding that skirmish line. That skirmish line is not holding, and those officers, now retreating as they are being pushed out completely out of the encampment by no less than a couple hundred protesters on the encampment within the encampment, within the confines of that plywood wall. Yeah. Incredible. Video gloria, the Police Activity is still playing out right now. Thats right. Amanda, the lapd declared a citywide tactical alert as officers in riot gear responded to a massive crowd at ucla. Protesters are not leaving, even after Police Declared an Unlawful Assembly and started getting ready to disperse them to not leaving you know, scared of, you know, scare us. And you can hear right there the chants. New video shows protesters chanting outside the encampment just before two this morning. Police broke through an area and came face to face with protesters. The demonstrators converged on officers, forcing them to retreat. But soon after, police can be seen detaining some of those protesters. These students are here peacefully and are just asking for the right to express their ideas on campus, which really is what an Academic Community should be all about. We want to send the message to uc l. A. Uh administration to the regents of the university of california, that students simply have the right to protest, to protest peacefully, and to talk about their ideas. And all of this comes after a brawl broke out tuesday night when counterprotesters tried to break down a propalestinian encampment. The violence unfolded for more than two hours before the Police Response increased. The school has its own police force, so lapd and chp had to wait for them to request help. The university is now vowing to investigate the response, and right now we have a live look from the scene at uc l. A. And police are chipping away at the encampment there. Theyve now surrounded the main encampment, and we have been seeing protesters start to give themselves up as officers start to clear out those tents, and you could see some of the protesters sitting right there. It looks like they possibly have zip ties around them, and it looks like right now they are being detained by law enforcement. So of course were going to continue following this for you throughout the morning as this continues and as far as classes, they are canceled at ucla today and tomorrow. So well be sure to follow the situation as it develops throughout the morning. Reggie. All right. I should add that we are also having lows live pictures on our website and our app right now. If you go to abc7 news. Com, you can see it from our station in l. A. Negotiations are reportedly underway to end a campus protest at uc berkeley. A free palestine encampment has been occupying the steps in front of sproul hall since last week. Abc seven News Reporter lena howland is there. And lena, the demonstration has been mostly peaceful so far, but there was some sort of incident last night. Hey, reggie. Thats right. And things are calm here right now. But Uc Berkeley Police say at least two people were hurt overnight following a loud confrontation between dueling protests. Right up until last night, things had remained peaceful here at uc berkeley, a contrast to arrests and turmoil we have seen at other schools across the country. The daily californian, which is the Campus Student run newspaper, is reporting a propalestinian protester tried to grab an israeli flag from a counter protester. This happened just before 7 00 last night. Thats when they say someone from the free palestine encampment reportedly punched one of the israel counterprotesters, which prompted paramedics to be called to the scene. Earlier this week, we reported that some jewish students have been told to request chaperons if theyre worried about walking on campus as a jewish student. When i see two other jewish graduate students harassed when they enter that encampment and another who was punched and followed to the police station, that tells me that the university is not enforcing their policy around student code of conduct. This incident, coming just days after the organizers of the free palestine encampment, reportedly met with chancellor carol christ to begin negotiations. Theyre calling on the entire us on the entire uc system to divest in companies contributing to the war in gaza. In a statement made earlier this week, cal says to date, there has been no disruption of university operations. We will continue to try to respond. Per policy, to any and all claims of illegal conduct for harassment and or discrimination and the daily californian says that protesters from this encampment have also established some sort of table barricades on the mario savio steps, with students fearing any potential raid by Uc Berkeley Police. Now of course, we have reached out to some of the folks here operating this encampment and we have been told there is no spokesperson available to talk to us at this hour. For now, reporting live in berkeley. Lena howland, abc seven news. Thank you. Lena. Colleges in the south bay took part in may day protests and a stand for the people affected by the israelhamas war, a Student Activist organization from san jose state held a rally to recognize workers rights. Students at uc santa cruz are the latest to launch their own encampment. All organizers say they put a lot into planning and safe and peaceful demonstrations. We are completely hands off. We are not going to be touching the police. Any counter protesters. We are like, we will not be touching anybody. We will not be inciting any violence, any destruction, any destruction. Students say it feels powerful to add their voices to the growing protests and to raise awareness. The city of richmond is now planning to divest from companies doing business in israel. The vote from the City Council Last Night makes richmond just the second u. S. City to do so. Hayward was the first the City Council Member who coauthored the Resolution Says richmond has a pool of roughly 600 million to invest, but only around 7 is likely invested in portfolios that hold companies. The city will divest from defense contractors and arms manufacturer like Lockheed Martin are obvious examples. Companies like microsoft and airbnb are also on the list. They have uh properties in the occupied uh region and advertise it as israel. So thats why theyre in the on the list. Critics argue that while divesting can send a message, its actual impact on corporations isnt typically as substantial. A San Francisco dog walker says hes keeping his guard up after finding a noose on his front doorstep. It was tied around a dolls neck and left at his home on alamo square. Abc seven news anchor dion lim is following the hate Crime Investigation and has the interview. Youll see only on seven. When i go walking dogs, im constantly watching my shoulder. Now. It was just an ordinary morning for dog walker Terry Williams when he woke up to take his own three rottweilers out for a walk around 6 00, april 26th, what his father found on the doorstep of their alamo square home shook terry to the core. He said, hey, you got a package down here, son . A plastic bag with terrys address and a foreboding message scrawled in marker. Then it had gangster thug, and then it had some other negative stuff about black people on there. The contents inside. Even worse, they had a picture of me with a noose around his neck. Then it had a noose around one of the little dog figures. Also inside this stuffed doll, so graphic and laden with slurs, we cant show any of it on tv. And its like, call me monkey , go pick cotton. Same goes for a sheet of paper inside the bag. The 4th of july is for white people, not for black people, terry says. As someone living in alamo square since the 70s, hes no stranger to racism, but never vitriol and hate like this. I take the high road and just back away. Terry has no idea who could have left the package, but provided police the Surveillance Video from a neighbor showing an individual approach his home around 1230 that morning. Sfpd tell me the incident is being investigated as a hate crime. Terry is sharing his story not just to represent his industry as a minority dog walker. Im trying to get more people of my color to do it, but to encourage others to speak out and help end the hate in the neighborhood he loves and calls home just got to stop. My people dont speak up. They always keep everything tucked in. You got to speak up. Dont let this. We cant let this go by. The more stuff we let go by, the more they feel entitled to do stuff to us. So this is my way of stepping up and standing out saying, no, im not letting this happen no more. The only thing is just make me want to stay and fight harder. Im not going nowhere in San Francisco. Dion lim, abc seven news. The clock is ticking for more than a dozen east bay student swimmers hoping to compete in a weekend swim meet. Theyre currently not allowed to participate in the north Coast High School championships due to an error in their teams submission. 13 swimmers from Acalanes High School qualified for the meet when their coach went to submit their names. He encountered issues with the system. The coach says he reached out to organizers for help, but he never got a response and the deadline passed. Students say this meet could have been a chance to qualify for the state championships. Weve all been working for this for a really long time, and having our first year taken away from covid and then now this being stripped away from us as well is just devastating.

The moving power of music is explored in an upcoming exhibit at sfmoma abc seven news got a sneak peek of the art of noise exhibit yesterday.

So just be aware of that. Those northwest winds are back. Lets talk about the rain on saturday. Its really saturday morning. Were highlighting a level one on the abc seven storm impact scale light storm with showers that could be briefly heavy at times, and were looking at about a half of an inch to an inch of rain in most areas. So future weather its timing out for you. Friday night plans. You are good to go. We are dry. Its a very early saturday at 4 a. M. That rain begins to arrive in the north bay. Its briefly heavy around 8 a. M. With this line moving through, and then by noon you can kind of see the tail end of the steady rain already exiting the north bay and then into the afternoon will likely find some sunshine breaking out, perhaps an isolated shower, but much of the rain is going to fall saturday morning.
