Police State Crackdown, Second Raid on Occupy Oakland 11-14-11

[MoreWhiteBabies]

Thanks for wasting my time. 30 seconds before this 5 minute video ends, you see police starting to walk towards the protestors. I wanted to see the crackdown like the title says.

[eginteractive]

Want to know how to REALLY beat the 1%? Start your own business. Get a job, pay your debts, and start your own business. Millions of companies were founded by people who wanted to rise up against the 1%. Instead of occupying public places and vandalizing local properties, get out and actually make something of yourself. All you're doing now is trying to wage war against the police. It's no longer a protest, it's a pissing match to see how far you can push police, then cry when they respond.

[RazberyBandit]

@eginteractive No one's waging war with police, here. The police bring 'war' to people thru fear, intimidation, arrest, and threats and acts of violence against peaceful humans with no real voice in their govt.

[dinoseer]

That's NOT a police force - That IS AN ARMY sent to quell the People. Just unreal, unconstitutional...

[basspig]

How much this reminds me of the final months of the Deutsches Reich in my home country. We had the same thing--youths raising chaos in the streets, lawlessness, political power struggles between Freikorps, Red Army, & the regular German Army. The streets were packed with people even worse than this. But this is looking like the beginning of something that could turn bad. I would hate to see a "Hitler" rise to power in the US, but so far, the pattern of events is chillingly similar.

[TheProudWhite]

@basspig Sorry to say, but Obama is a Dictator in the making.

[basspig]

@TheProudWhite Agreed. How oddly he resembles the 'messiah' in the "Left Behind" series.

[KYKIN44]

Protesters in the future we will not have to worry about the police. Just look south into Mexico, a few drug runners has got all the police so scared down there they will not get out their police stationhouse. So in the future we put a little pressure on the police they will run like cowards that they are. Police has been cowards ever since they have been little boys. Because they are dressed up like Star Wars does not make those bastards brave they are cowards and always will be cowards.

[bobbygnosis]

All those cops were present because NOTHING

is as threatening as a hippy mildly high holding a bag of chips.

Sounds damn dangerous to me. Now I fear that chip-eating hippies are going to hurt me, after you've informed us of this part of their cannabilism. We have to be chewed up, ridden over, ..., by the rich elites and then chip-eating hippies want to chew us apart as well? No, that's UNFAIR sportsmanship, I declare! Two forces against one isn't fair; not in this csse anyway.

[Astrafire1]

@mikecorbeil Chip eating hippies are on the loose?!?? OMG, NOT AGAIN!!! Quick somebody call FEMA, they'll cut the flesh eating zombies loose on those Chip eating hippies before they start chanting "Give Peace A Chance".

(oh crud, where did I put my tinfoil hat and shoes?) Everybody grab your metal garbage can faraday cages and get ready to rumble.....

[mikecorbeil]

@bobbygnosis Well, with a little after-thought, if the police feel threatened by hippies holding bags of chips, then how about bags of smoke product, marijuana or cousin hashish? Maybe the police wouldn't mind this, especially if you can deal with only a few and get them to accept a little "friendly", i.e, bribe, money for them to not only be silent, but also for alerting you when there're are going to be raids at your residence or business. It was done in Montreal, NYC, ... decades ago.

[bobbygnosis]

@mikecorbeil Western civilization is collapsing from the inside out. What we're watching is the very beginning of something very large and interesting. These hippies probably only have a dim awareness of the implications of what they're doing. Nothing against them - I used to be like them. In time we might end up with a formal fascist push in this country. At which time the possibility of an actual revolution may yet manifest.

While I'm thinking about it: learn to garden your own food.

Peace.

[mikecorbeil]

We already have both, a fascist system, and resistance. The resistence isn't perfect, uniform in ideologies, et cetera, but there's resistance and definitely fascism, corporate fascism.

You haven't yet awoken to this reality?

[bobbygnosis]

@mikecorbeil Woken up to the reality?

Back in 2008 I had nearly daily panic attcks due to it. I was derided and called a conspiracy theorist. I lost friends because of waking up to this reality. These Occupy things are others going through the exact same thing I went through - only they're doing it en masse as where I was a bit of a loner.

We haven't hit the hard stuff yet.

Just for the day when you hear 'Papers please.'

[mikecorbeil]

@bobbygnosis Not even the war-lord oligarchs are always agreeing with each other; having differing interests, as we usually call these. Variability is to be found everywhere. But we definitely have some real anti-war, ... activists, analysts, writers, .... Good. Meanwhile, we have real oligarchs, ...

And growing your own food is a great idea. :)

[bobbygnosis]

@mikecorbeil Growing your own food comes at a price. My understanding is that Organic farming has been informally criminalized. The ability to feed yourself is actually not only on the table, but well against the average person. You can thank the Senate, Congress, FDA, Monsanto and the Democrat who wrote the bill (Food Modernization Act). That DEmocrat's husband just happens to be a high level employee at onsanto - a stunning coincidence.

Urban Guerilla gardening. It will come to this.

[Astrafire1]

Brasscheck headlined this as "1st Amendment Rights are now 'privileges' and they are being revoked". People are confused! Amendments are American rights. United States was a phrase coined by Americans to describe our union of states in America. A privately owned business located in 15sq.mi. of land that is NOT America took ownership of the United States phrase and incorporated it. We are not the united states inc., we are AMERICA! United States Inc. is ruled by UCC and british maritime law!

[mikecorbeil]

@Astrafire1 wrote : "Brasscheck headlined this as "1st Amendment Rights are now 'privileges' and they are being revoked". ..."

Look for the George Carlin skit video when he said we "have no rights". He's right, in terms of politics. We should, imo, still believe in natural rights that govt can either support, oppress or suppress, or possibly ignore. One way or the other though, we still have natural rights. But George Carlin is right about our governments and the masters.

[Astrafire1]

@mikecorbeil George Carlin was a very wise man, even back in the early days as a comedian if you looked past the humor in what he was saying, you could see the common sense truths he used as his platform.

I agree, more people need to watch his "we have no rights" vid. His is deadly accurate with his words....

[MuseFromGallifrey]

The US is officially a police state.

[joejoe652]

cou·ra·geous

Pronunciation: \kə-ˈrā-jəs\

Function: adjective

An act of bravery by mindlessly obeying orders.

To weaponize ones self for war against civilians armed with musical instruments and a desire for justice.

One who does not dare question the authority of his tyrannical owner.

[MsTurbotim]

Props to that person with all that gear and the shield that how u roll that is the shit that is america we may not be the smartest country but we have a huge hart and we are never going to give up

[ratboy0069]

Where was all these sissy ass pigs when the L.A. riots happened after the Rodney King verdict?? i see you can beat up on a bunch of "mostly" white people peacefully protesting..But when a bunch of black do it you hide like a scared rabbit..THIS COUNTRY FUCKING SUCKS...AND IT IS OVER WITH!

[RedTulie1]

THIS is why the Second Amendment is so vital. It's been largely pissed away in this country; people, including those in these protests, are utterly clueless as to the rights that have been stripped from us all AND the significance of the Second Amendment. How can a people defend themselves against a tyrannical, dictatorial government without a way to make their point loud and clear? Just consider what would happen if people actually stood up for themselves against the police state.....

[2JOHNNYT]

Say YES 2 OWS-USA!

Say NO 2 BANKER COCK

like NYC-OWS does here watch?v=VJgQ2n4fdy4

[mark97213]

This country is a JOKE! Touted as FREE that only the sheeple believe. Free to be pillaged by the elite.

It's the same in any country ... those in control will never relinquish power without a fight. You've seen the same scenario played out in Libya, Egypt and others, only in those countries, the peasants had enough and matched the elite's storm troopers and pushed back just as hard as they were forced to.

It's time we push just as hard - otherwise, it's an exercise in futility.

[SuperCat420]

the people who have been caught stealing trillions from America and the rest of the western world are now resorting to bolshevik style agitation , it's text book, this is just the beginning.

[smujismuj]

What would the fascists do without their half-witted goon squads [police].

[TheSpardikins]

The whole sit in wouldn't be affective if the police didn't react this way anyways. Does anyone really care that people are peacefully sitting? No. But does everyone suddenly have an opinion when the peaceful sit in is being disturbed by policemen doing what they were instructed to do? Yep. More airtime, more outrage, more results. Just sayin'.

[sunmoonfire67]

I wonder if the cops would come out in this volume if their wages & pensions were cut or perhaps a mass layoff & they did a sit in .. I wonder how they would feel if average person would rage at them with sticks & tear gas.. What goes around comes around. Sadly though, these cops have family & relatives and i'm sure they must face the same social problems as the rest of us. Time to reduce wages for cops, gov't and & the rich pay more taxes period...

[456manny1]

Wow so many violent white people... better get more pigs......

[trishy00]

Even if you despise peaceful hippies (I can think of a lot better things to waste my energy hating), the number of police marching is astounding. It's an army against vegans and yoga masters. Now that's a little unfair. No people, no matter how much I can demonize them in my head, deserve police coming at them like this.

[atwitsend]

@trishy00 these are peaceful folks just like we were in the 60's of course we were vilified too, to shut down the peaceful hippies as they were called aka flower children they created Manson. blamed it on the hippies. get it yet? even though the Occupy movement has been infiltrated by the powers that be ( just like we were in the 60's by the CIA) Kent state.they repeat this over and over again becasue the ruling elite are scared of loosing their place for their NWO.

[RemoteSwitch]

Like I said.

[8Limes]

@RemoteSwitch You are just full of shit! Did you ever try listening to yourself? Get an education and do research before you spill nonsense here! Open your eyes, or try to spoon feed some IQ into the brain of yours. Sorry, I forgot it got amputated already!

[DickGonad]

Fuck Obama. Fuck Congress. Fuck DHS, FBI, CIA, NSA, DIA. Fuck the military.

[TheProudWhite]

To all you morons screaming "police state, fascism or other socialistic ideologies..........WHY DID YOU VOTE FOR OBAMA THEN?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? The most Socialistic El President we have ever had! Maybe you are to young to remember the Cold War and Soviet Russia.....This was a daily occurrence. How soon we forget. You vote in the Commie, you get the commie state.

[subg88]

@TheProudWhite

The US has been a police state longer than Obama's been president.

[smujismuj]

@TheProudWhite

I didn't vote for Obama, I knew he was a sold out Wall Street Toady as soon as he was nominated.

[TheProudWhite]

Ummmm.....if I was going up and down the street in my neighborhood at 4:00 am banging on a drum and screaming I would EXPECT to get arrested! Why do you think the law does not apply to you? Your freedom of speech does not extend to destroying some other person's rights. The shop owners, the people who have to navigate that area daily. You are violating their rights!

[RemoteSwitch]

You're "occupiers" not protesters, there is a difference. It is my belief you're a movement of useful idiots. The majority is overwhelmingly against your actions and your message is a pile of socialist shit. When people see these cops kicking you out, most people are saying 'finally!'. Your actions have made this kind of police state response justifiable in peoples minds. When you start fucking with other peoples lives, they will hate you and fight you, NOT join you.

[subg88]

@RemoteSwitch

Yes a certain segment of the population hold these views. These are known as fascists.

[RemoteSwitch]

@subg88 Your mama.

[RemoteSwitch]

@subg88 Only fascist who want others to join in their hate link comments.

[Zerozx11645]

@RemoteSwitch Socialism, eh? What about our tax dollars going to the too-big-to-fail banks, or maybe the other industries that were bailed out? Sounds like redistribution to me, but in the opposite direction! I guess it's necessary in that case. A bailout to the millions of unemployed, tens of millions who are below the poverty level; nah...fuck 'em. Not necessary to assist them. And as far as the majority being against them: so? The majority, in most cases, are also ignorant.

[anarchist344]

@RemoteSwitch Well junior nazi, your opinion deserves no respect as it gives no respect. This scene reminds me of an old Emma Goldman magazine cover concerning the police; they are here to make sure that stolen property remains stolen. Wall street stole our economy and you cheer that on. Somehow douchebag seems too kind a term for you.

[sunmoonfire67]

all these cops can't be local police, I bet the city has them flown in from all over the world or different parts of the usa.. Or they are military personnel etc.. There's no way the city could afford such a huge police payroll.. But it's interesting they all have nice new uniforms, boots etc.. someone is paying for this that's for sure

[TheProudWhite]

@sunmoonfire67 The unions, especially SEIU, bus in people to rally all the time. Would not surprise me if they bussed in police just to "break it up" and get it filmed.

[koreancook1]

Ignorance is bliss!

The enforcers want the Occupiers to leave soon because Xmas shopping season is almost upon us. And the government needs the tax revenues and companies need to reduce inventories and increase earnings. Thus the Occupiers must go!!

Ignorance is bliss. Kinda makes you wonder why this protest is labeled "Occupy". This means the occupying force is foreign...just like our troops oversea. Thus, the derivation of Occupy has been by designed.

Good luck seeing the light....

[doctordude]

good footage. thanks.

[spamystyle]

somehow I don't think yelling "we have the right to peacefully assemble" is very peaceful. Maybe if they were whispering it. 

[MissELizVitale]

see they attack in the night or early morning because THEY ARE CRIMINALS.... A VERY CRIMINAL GANG BEHAVIOR....A BRAZEN MILITARY MOVE IS IN THE DAY LIGHT... THEY SPRAY CHEMICALS AT NIGHT TOO THROUGH THE AIR TO POISON PEOPLE UNDER THE GUISE OF WEATHER CHANGE.. KILLING PEOPLE WITH HAARP, STEAL LAND... THIS GOVT IS CRIMINAL

[skeeveskeeve]

I understand that the Oakland Mayor admitted that this was part of a concerted effort and that she was on a conference call with other "occupy" mayors the night before conspiring to evict the occupy protesters.

[skeeveskeeve]

Exactly who are the cops protecting?

[charleymarie1]

thank you for sharing this.

[amgx9]

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

Our Founding Fathers would weep with despair at what these police are doing now.

OWS!

[jschwind435]

@amgx9 Uh huh... Destroying private property IS NOT a right. It's a crime. 

[hmhanlon]

So, if the idea was to disperse the crowd, why did they barricade the perimeter and take other action to ensure no one could easily leave?

[jschwind435]

@hmhanlon Because they all belong in jail cells. They've only had months to leave...

[snakebandit]

Awesome! Rid the world of hippies! Soon they will be occupying jail cells :o)

[skeeveskeeve]

@snakebandit Hey so, uh, FUCK YOU. PRICK.

[snakebandit]

@skeeveskeeve lol, ouch. This little "occupy" thing is just another hippie movement that will come and go and won't have an impact on anything except making downtowns look like giant homeless camps. do society a favor by taking a bath in the ocean.... far far out into the ocean.

[skeeveskeeve]

@snakebandit I hope I get to meet you in person some day.

[surefoot4x4x4]

4 am, the military tactic, by ones who protect the state. Give them the fight they seek!

[zogug76]

@surefoot4x4x4 I tend to agree, because they deserve no better. They are nothing but a bunch of traitors, betraing the very flag they sworn their oath oppon... But we cannot descend to their lvl, the second we do we will have lost the fight because we loose the support of the main population. That support is growing minute by minute because the protesters do not descend to the pigs lvl of violence. And kudos on that, keep it peacefull no matter what happens. They will dig their own grave!

[ckblondiee]

Wow, look at the robotoids in riot gear; I wonder if they are even human. They do not seem to be, not to me. Brainwashed fully, mind controlled fully, clones, or synthetics; surely not human beings.

[ckblondiee]

Thank you for all of your hard work and sacrifice on behalf of us all. Stay strong and well.

[chrstsldr]

thanks for posting and for braving the police state.

how cowardly is it for them to show up at 4:00am?

you have to wonder what the city of Oakland is paying to intimidate its own citizens in such a monstrous way.

I always thought 'protect and serve' meant something else.

[syrahlover]

at 3:30, that's not a community police force, it's an army

[spktruth200]

This is FASCISM with a big F.....what now...obviously Homeland Security, the demorats and repukes are all in....to push every occupy movement out of the streets....Our consitution has been shredded people...STAND UP STAND UP AND FIGHT BACK, ITS OUR ONLY CHANCE...they cant arrest us all, fill the jails and Occupy them. everyone ask for a jury trial, clog the courts Occupy the courts

[born2achieve]

great footage. thanks for posting. i am not getting the point of this movement and feel sorry for the police. they dont want to deal with this shit at 4am. God bless them!

[lucifertheholy]

@born2achieve have you even been to an occupy event?

[Callenge1]

Dawn's early light? Looks more like the attack at Sand Creek. The police want a massacre.

Thanks for posting this and stay with it!!!

[jloppy]

Keep up the good work!
