Ten armed Honolulu Police officers including two "Aloha Police" in aloha shirts made 3am seizure raid on Occupy Honolulu 3/14/2012. They rousted sleepers and seized tents and personal belongings. They also seized literature and art. 

Property was not seized because Occupy Honolulu is a homeless camp because it is not. Property was not seized because Occupy Honolulu was in violation of laws or ordinances because it was not. Property was seized because Occupy Honolulu's political convictions, that the economic and political systems do not serve the people. The encampment is a public forum around these issues. 

This was the 11th raid in its 130 continuous days of encampment.
