Over a period of hours police played a message calling for dispersal at Cal Poly Humboldt on April 30. Protesters swarmed barriers and called for the cops to leave. Later, more than 30 people were arrested. The Humboldt County District Attorney’s Office dropped 27 cases regarding people arrested at Cal Poly Humboldt during a pro-Palestine occupation at the university in April.
Eads said her office received 39 referrals from Cal Poly Humboldt’s police department, 27 of which the DA’s office refused to move forward. The remainder are being referred back to the Cal Poly Humboldt University Police Department for further investigation, she said. The roughly week-long occupation of Siemens Hall began with an April 22 clash between protesters and police, a response recently criticized by Eureka’s police auditor for a lack of planning. Multiple protesters interviewed by the Times-Standard during the occupation said they were galvanized to continue and ramp up the occupation, which called from divestment from Israel and an end to the war in Gaza, after seeing police hit protesters with batons and shields April 22.
While the university recommended charges including trespassing, occupying a property without consent, resisting an officer, remaining present at an unlawful assembly and obstructing a student or teacher, according to a May email from a spokesperson from the university, a bundle of the protesters’ cases now won’t be moving forward.
