cops are cutting off the occupied building from the plaza outside it, most people are in the plaza, so a dozen are now totally on their own and people seem to be barricading them in from the back to they can't fall back and rejoin the others. ugh i am so scared for these students
looks like some people in the building left out the first floor and rejoined the crowd while the cops went up the second floor. smart. take building, cops respond, if you can't hold it escape, take another building, repeat.
i've heard people say that UC Irvine's campus was laid out to prevent demonstrations and occupations and it sure looks like it right now. the camp area is not an easily defensible space at all, all sorts of irregular cutouts for trees so hard to make a line at a chokepoint.
