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 an 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 One!' And then they backed up. 'Platoon Two!' and then 'Platoon Three!' They were literally like army lines.”
