Occupy Riverside Charges Excessive Police Force

11 people were arrested yesterday at the Occupy Riverside protest
after a police raid. Riverside police had warned protestors that they would enforce the
city's strict rules prohibiting overnight camping and the pitching of
tents. Occupy Riverside activists say they took part in peaceful civil
disobedience but weren't prepared for what they say was the excessive
police force that followed. Ernesto Arce files this report.
