  • If she refuses to resign, then according to Oakland's city charter, the residents of Oakland have the right to petition for a recall to oust her.

  • As a democrat myself, I do not condone and in fact CONDEMN the way she handles the protests. She's using Tienanmen-style tactics in disrupting and "suppressing a non-violent protest movement." Either apologize to the people of Oakland or resign.

  • Quan what a loser...Her Buds turned against her and she got her just desserts. 

  • So this is what passes for leadership in oakland, the real crime here is that these same people also vote for the president of the united states. Wow, just fucking wow. What a real piece of work. going by her physical appearance, and speach mannerism's she might have the qualifications to become North Korea's next dictator.

  • Mayor Kuan is an idiot - she even looks mentally retarded.

    This is always what happens when you let them run wild the first time.

    You are going to see a lot more of this as November gets closer.

  • Can* I hate iPhone auto correct

  • How the hell did she get her job?? She cab barely speak English let alone run a city, smfh

  • #dearjeanquan 2:43. We have tried to contact elected officals. Now you want to listen?

  • Most ineffective official of the Century.

  • What kind of wimp shit is this? She's apologizing to a hoard of bums trashing Oakland in the name of Socialism. She's an adult, and they're spoiled-brat children who want handouts, and she gets on camera trying to appease these brats with platitudes and pleading. I have one answer for the protestors. Send a sqaud of police to move them out, and send them all back home to their mommies. This is disgusting.

  • Don Perata and his supporters are laughing their heads off right now!

  • **CHIN

  • Mayor Jean Quan does it too but it doesn't look like it can reach her jaw.

  • in 2002 i saw miley cyrus walking around fairview park mall in kitchener ontario canada with her mother and acouple of mall security guards she was a 10 year old kid back than i was around 14 years old i saw her i just thought she was another person but she looked straight into my eyes and gave this very errie smile i will always remember, she smiled at me like the joker in bat man with a triangle smile to her jaw, i dunno what billy ray did to that girl.. no lie look at her videos she does it

  • Hitler was the greatest man whoever lived, i believe that debate is clear now.

  • @Trav1ste You just proved me right. N'Gay'vy, lol.

  • This is leadership? If she had an sense of shame she would fall on a sword, literally.

  • @tridentum Oh shut the fuck up you warped left wing faggot, like you would have the gumption to actually fall on a sword yourself. You people suck!!!

  • @socialistcontainment Hey, dumbass. I am so far right I make you look like Che. Stupid shit. You are almost as dumb as Mayor Quan and her communist morons. Did you even read my reply. I am highly critical of Quan and her ilk.

  • @tridentum I guess I see your point. Falling on a sword for being so pathetic. Seeing her pathetic actions pissed me off so much. I apologize.

  • You commie faggots in Oakland look like such a pathetic joke with your 'beautiful modern minority' mayor that has no fortitude or principle. What a weak fantasy culture you must have....BAARRRFFF!! PUSSIES!!!!! 

  • The black bloc are well known and documented as a police provocateur program. Any fake anarchist provocateur that is destroying your neighborhood or property should be shot on spot. You have a duty to protect your neighborhood from this scum. Police are destroying your community. Wake up Oakland! Cowardly police tactics are destroying the movement.

  • Scared of her PD??? YOU moron, she's recklessly putting her officers in danger! She's a coward, incompetent, and in over her head. She needs to resign.

  • This lady is weak and she's either scared of her own police department or is power drunk.

  • This liar had better resign...

  • So since you admit you are rsponsible are you going to pay his hospital bill Bitch?

  • I am truly sorry for the citizenry of Oakland, that Mayor Quan continually appears on TV, without a bag over her head. This is an outrage, she MUST resign immediately and stop exposing that mug in public!!!!

  • Pitiful. She's worthless and weak.

  • This bitch needs to RESIGN.

  • WHY DON'T YOU RESIGN IN SHAME, YOU INCOMPETENT CUNT? You're a dangerous asshole. You're supposed to stand for things, not shit on the rights of people by calling out your asshole storm troopers. FREE SPEECH IS NOT YOURS TO TAKE AWAY, ASSHOLE! Take your opinion and shove it up your corrupt and incompetent ass, you stupid fucking bitch. GO FUCK YOURSELF, ASSHOLE.

  • Stay strong Oakland! your mayor is full of shit.

  • Jean Quan free speech is a right 24 hours a day not just between 6am to 10pm.

  • Mayor why you no respect freedom of speech?

  • Resign

    

  • you have love your day's first WTF moment.

  • This is what you call grandstanding for the political left.

  • Too late, traitor. We took control of (an-)Tony "Baloney" Bologna and wil take control of the other fucks who ruin the world.

  • @AnimalJihad23 Yeah whatever, go defecate on a police car you loser.

  • @silentknight1978

    lolwut

  • Headline: Grovelling, Weak Mayor Begs #OccupyOakland Protesters For Cooperation.

    By being weak and spineless she has earned the contempt of every faction involved in this conflict, fair and square.

    The encampment should never have been allowed in the first place. Thanks to this intitial mistake, the area eventually deteriorated to the point that legally, it to be cleared as a matter of public safety. The tear gas and flashbangs the next night were in response to thrown bottles and rocks.

  • An apology won't suffice. A through investigation into police brutality followed by indictments is needed before these protests start becoming riots.

  • @Phalinex These protests are alredy riots. You want an apology? Your people are the ones who attacked the police and continue to break the laws with your illegal protests. You people are clueless about what you are even doing, and your attention is directed at the wrong people. It is the police departments job to maintain order, just because you think that you are right, it doesn't give you the right to break the law, and violate everyone else's rights.

  • @mickey0601 The marine did not attack police. He stood in one place. Calling it an attack when someone throws water at someone is disingenuous Breaking laws doesn't mean violent. The mobs that are attacking are the police. Protesting is not illegal no matter if you agree with the protests or not. The first amendment supersedes state and municipal laws. We as a society decide what is right and wrong and we are in the process of making a decision.

  • @beachluvr So according to your logic, I can go sit in the middle of the Brooklyin bridge, and the cops can't make me move because I have a constitutional right ot assemble.

    Your argument is naive and wrong. Every right has boundries. Your fredom to speech is limited. you can't libel slander someone, and you can't yell bomb on an airplane. Your rihgt ot assemble is not withoutr limits.

    BTW: The police were attacked by protestors and were defending themselves and other protestors.

  • @beachluvr Your ignorance is part of the problem. " Protesting is not illegal.." You are wrong. You can't yell bomb on a plane, you can't stand on the brooklin bridge because you "have a right to assemble". You have no right to infringe on everyone else's rights.

    People like you are the scary ones. You think that you know the law, and refuse to listen to people when they tell you what the laws are. You are ignorant.

    We are a republic, not a democracy. You should learn the difference.

  • @mickey0601 You say people are clueless but go to an event and talk to these people. They are not they way they are portrayed on your 45 second news clip. The issues can't be debated in that short amount of time. I say go and see what it is about and you would be surprised. The attention is directed at the right people. We someone does something wrong you send the attention there. When someone threatens your safety that takes your attention away until you resolve that situation. We're right.

  • why didn't she just use a teleprompter like obama does?

  • Hwat about Jerry Brown,now Governor who was mayor of oakland fromm 1999-2007 - what does he have to say about this, why hasnt he stepped in to do anything? Surely he knows everyone involved there and has inifluence there from all his years there, and especially now being governnor? Was he behind this or what?? We should hear from Governor Brown. ???

  • How can you win an election even though were only second place. That's progressivism for you, even losers win. In your progressive city you have an 18% unemployment rate, high murder rate, high property taxes, high foreclosures, police morale down, the schools had to be taken over by the state government, multi million dollar deficits years on end, child prostitution on your main drag, and democrat control for 40 years.

  • Charge this idiot bitch with treason and put her sorry ass on trial.

  • weak

  • Jean Quan had said that she stands with OWS. I don't belive that Quan is souly responsible for what happened. Oakland police's has the worst reputation as being the most ruthless, sexist, and racist, meat heads. on July 2010, Quan was investigated by Oakland police for her actions when Quan Protested against Police officer Johannes Mehserle when he shot Oscar Grant. she was threatened to be sued by the oakland police.

  • @justbeyourself2 Because she basically obstructed. There are videos where she was blocking the police from stopping the riots.

  • Gutless chink.

  • @Trav1ste Cite the Law Olsen was breaking. Also, you know nothing about the Suck and no doubt couldn't even pass screening to get in much less make it through boot camp so you have no basis other than stupidity to base your argument.

  • You can see why the Chinese communists have no problems controlling the will's of 1 Billion people. They are cowards.

  • I see a huge law suit for Scott and has rights too...Good Luck and God Bless him

  • Why is it so necessary to read from a prepared statement?? It could have been written by karl rove for all we know. Speak normally. its not that hard. She is so out of touch.

  • I disagree with your position and your actions, but I encourage the discussion.

  • @Lightrider4444 So you agree with the part she was blatantly lying about...

  • @Emidretrauqe What part of "disagree with your position and your actions" was unclear?

  • When this is over I hope there are enough tall trees for all the traders of the USA to dangle from. We don't need your safety we can live in squallier if we choose however that is not what was happening, We are free to do as we please and you have no say, the power you think you have is the power of the PEOPLE that we lend you but it does not belong to you, it belongs to WE THE PEOPLE so take your conditions and shove them up your ass!

  • We accept your resignation, thank you!

  • get her ass out!

  • The sad fact is, Oakland is a liberal shithole. If she resigns, they'll just elect another spineless idiot to take her place. The only thing that can save Oakland is when everything west of the San Andreas Fault falls into the Ocean.

  • NO Leadership.

    Worthless piece of shit Obama-liberal.

  • at 3:26 she says she comes from an older and different movement...what fucking movement is that?

  • oakland is a shithole...period

  • resign you fucking two faced rat

  • you are in no position to make requests of any kind. don't ever address us again thug

  • Try not reading from a script if you want us to believe that you're sincere. Basic skills in speech making should be a requirement for the job of mayor. Please resign!

  • This lady looks like my ass. Resign!

  • He seems to be doing well? omg....what a fucking bitch.

  • Huge pile of shit and one of the ugliest faces of the planet.

  • Resign

  • You've already proven youself incompetent at running a city properly. You don't get another chance for people to like you. Resign.

  • Resign.

  • Booooo!

    

  • Resign.

  • Resign.

  • Resign.

  • Occupy Oakland had a chance to show that we were better than mayor Quan by hearing her out at least. That would have shown that no matter what, we'd be willing to show her the exact opposite kind of respect that she showed us on Tuesday night. Agreeing, disagreeing, forgiving, even understanding mayor Quan are totally different matters, the gesture of hearing her out would have demonstrated much better character in a mass gathering than what two high city officials proved they could demonstrate.

  • @varg1231 Everyone gets a chance to speak at Occupy Oakland. But everyone has to wait their turn. She didn't want to stand in line. She had her chance and she instead chose to issue this report from a bunker.

  • resign

  • She could have at least read the statement that was prepared for her by her PR and legal department before going on air.

  • She can't be trusted!. Be on the look out for another personally Jean Quan-Ordered morning SURPRISE attack on Occupy Wall Street with Police doing her dirty work and their lies so far up their asses, while she disappears again from Oakland, during execution of her foot-soldiers wrath on the 99% because of false statements like the park is not sanitary.

    I think 1 bashed up head (Scott Olsen) is already more than enough to go around. "Fool me once shame on you, Fool me twice.... shame on me."

  • The cops aimed at his head & shot point blank. Remember the 'MACE" incident in N.Y. of the young women?

    It was that type of mentality & execution.

    Did you notice the young man laying motionless and the police did nothing to help him? In fact, when people leaned over his bloody face the cops had the slimeball mentality to toss another round into them. Why? So that they could disperse the crowd around him and let him bleed more?

    PIGS deserve what they got coming to them. Molotov cocktails.

  • Where were your safety employees when scott olsen got shot in the street? Oh yeah, they CAUSED the injury, and then " your safety employees "even injured MORE innocent humans, who were trying to help scott.

    Mayor Quan there is a virtue called TRUST, we the people in your city have lost TRUST, in you, the council and the police. All we have is eachother. You can't change the past, but you can change the future.

    Open dialouge with and keep Occupy Oakland Alive!

  • Please provide specific, detailed reasons as to what inspired shutdown. We r hearing 1) falling injury 2) beating 3) rats 4) unsanitary conditions yet all presented w/ambiguity or as hearsay. Provide date/time/detail on each. Evidence of objects (fireworks?) thrown at police. No photographic evidence or factual reports exist. Provide list of "non-lethal" projectiles to include manufacture and amount used. Many r disappointed, threatened, angry. All of us are very intelligent w/strong dignity.

  • "GUYS GUYS...IM GOING TO TALK TO YOU FROM INSIDE A BUILDING PROTECTED BY THE POLICE BECAUSE THE PEOPLE IN MY OWN CITY BOOED ME OFF THE STAGE" -Quan

  • A first step, is better than no step...

  • We are waiting for the taped resignation!

  • I like how you can hear the human mic in the background. The revolution is right outside!
