Police Don't Know Why Raid On Occupy SF Was Canceled

SF Weekly reports:

Early this morning, San Francisco police circled the OccupySF site on Justin Herman Plaza, donning helmets and batons, ready to raid the camp. But for some reason, after bringing in backup, the cops retreated a few hours later, calling off the planned raid.

We asked San Francisco police why the change of heart, but it seems not even they know what happened.

"I wish I had an answer, but I have no idea -- it's still early in the morning and I'm just waiting now to see what's going on and what happened," Officer Carlos Manfredi told us. "Maybe they saw it was peaceful and they decided they weren't going to do anything, but I honestly have no idea. I am hoping the chief and the mayor will explain it later, because your guess is as good as mine."
