Violence At 'Occupy Oakland,' Some Protesters Vow To Regroup "Dozens of police in riot gear and hundreds of protesters supporting the Occupy Wall Street movement engaged in a game of cat-and-mouse in downtown Oakland on Tuesday," The Associated Press writes, "with authorities using tear gas to respond to demonstrators' repeated agitations." Our colleagues at KQED's News Fix blog followed the news as it developed Tuesday, and will be doing so again today. As for the protesters, the @occupyoakland Twitter page calls on "Everyone! Come to Oscar Grant Plaza tomorrow at 6pm for round three. and four. and five. and six. We will not be moved." So there could be more clashes today. Tuesday before dawn, as we reported, police broke up the camps that Occupy Oakland had been occupying outside City Hall for about two weeks. Then, later in the day, there were clashes between police and some protesters as the Occupy folks tried to regroup. According to The San Francisco Chronicle, "police gave repeated warnings to protesters to disperse from the entrance to Frank Ogawa Plaza at 14th Street and Broadway before firing several tear gas canisters into the crowd at about 7:45 p.m. Police had announced over a loudspeaker that those who refused to leave could be targeted by 'chemical agents.' " The Oakland Tribune writes that "the number of protest injuries were not immediately known, but two officers were hurt when protesters splattered them with paint." It adds that Police Chief Howard Jordan "said 102 people were arrested Tuesday, the majority taken into custody before dawn." Poster Comment: Pics, links, and some interesting comments at source.

I suspect the relenting is because of the videos that have gone viral. Two primary reasons I see: 1. The worthy Mayor wants to be reelected. 2. The lawsuits resulting from this are likely to cost Oakland much more than the one million wasted trying to suppress legitimate protests.

Well at this point we can safely say that a lot of the pigs are nothing more than mercenary thugs and enforcers for the Wall Street/Feral Reserve Mob. They are painted whores with badges.
