Occupy Oakland protesters show rubber bullets used by riot squads

Reports coming out of Oakland say police there are withdrawing after a series of running battles with Occupy movement protesters. Riot-gear clad cops once again deployed tear gas, flashbangs and rubber ammunition in an effort to move entrenched demonstrators. But the city's port - the 5th largest in America, remains shut down.

@skitman1958 i do believe you have the right idea, the 99% support the police not these occupy idiots,we say more riot gas, bean bag rounds,and while your at it water cannons would be a nice touch now that it is cold

ATTENTION COMRADES:

The federally approved information distribution channels are correct when informing you that ballistic weapons are not used in squelching of dissidents.

Do not believe rumors distributed by friends or family, do not believe your own eyes or wounds, do not believe alternative media who show you evidence or film to the contrary, these people shall soon be dealt with soon... to protect you from evil.

Because big government has your best interest at heart.

Carry on your day...

@ecotts hold on a second, im not saying that other media outlets are better, but if you where old enough to remember the reporting during soviet times, this would seem very familiar to you, i happen to know because i live in east germany which as you may know, used to be socialist state

SKITMAN YOUR A SHEEP KEEP ON WORKING YOUR HEAD UP THAT ARSE

[skitman1958]

@LetterToVoltaire Give it a rest sweet pea. You are talking right from your tight bunghole. So take your fag shit elsewhere. If you want to waste your life with these dumb fucks, go right ahead. As for me, I think I will just work and make money. And invest in big companies who make big PROFITS to increase my wealth. So get your head from your ass, either make money or try and take it. I have something waiting for thoes that would try and take it from me.
