One day after San Diego police arrested 51 people during a raid on Occupy San Diego at the Civic Center, an official within the group said she has plans to sue the city.
Posted Saturday on Occupy San Diego's Facebook page, event organizer, Kayla Ward, announced said she will sue the city for the SDPD's alleged use of excessive force during a sweep of the protesters' unauthorized camp site.
As the protest against perceived political and financial wrongdoing entered its 23rd day, 53 people were arrested for suspicion of offenses including unlawful assembly, with one person taken into custody for battery and another for assault after the raid.
Late Friday night the demonstrators re-grouped with the help of faith leaders and the San Diego Council union and plans to gather money for jailed protesters were set in place.
