www.DemocracyNow.org - Oakland police repeatedly fired tear gas and flash grenades Tuesday night as protesters attempted to retake the Occupy Oakland encampment outside City Hall — only 12 hours after police tore apart the camp and arrested more than 90 people in a pre-dawn raid. Observers said that at times, the downtown resembled a warzone last night. Some protesters are being held on $10,000 bail. Democracy Now! speak to Rachel Jackson of the Oscar Grant Committee Against Police Brutality and State Repression about how the police are handling Occupy Oakland. Also interviewed is John Avalos, San Francisco City Supervisor and a candidate for mayor of San Francisco. On Tuesday, Avalos introduced a resolution supporting the right of the Occupy San Francisco protest to continue its peaceful assembly in public spaces.

@faulconandsnowjob and that would accomplish what, exactly!?! the tea party successfully did what when they bared arms at rally's? i know they successfully made a lot of people ridicule them for bringing guns to events where there was zero real need for firearms. all, or the most, that that seems to accomplish is ridicule by the mainstream. how the hell is that constructive!?!

@TheEyesonUtube stop talking out of your ass, you obviously know nothing of the law. they are exercising their federally protected first amendment right to peaceably assemble. read the constitution and go to school and learn about the supremacy clause. the constitution takes supremacy over ANY law in the land.
seriously, you've been so indoctrinated into accepting authority that if anyone says 'no' you would willfully submit without questioning why... you're a well trained lil'puppy!

@TheEyesonUtube Actually the constitutional right of free assembly trumps local laws.

John Alvos is on his way out......he thinks the occupiers rights trump local laws...hummmm. I though our country was based on the rule of law? As they say ...if you don't like the laws change them. He advocates disobey the laws. And this guy wants to be the mayor of SF.......
