Men in black attack Whole Foods at #OccupyOakland 's #GeneralStrike . Protestors clearly upset. Who are these men? Are they undercover OPD? Are they paid rioters? Or are they just anarchists who want to stir up trouble? Also, someone yells to NOT film this. What is going on?

One this is clear, the Occupy Movement DOES NOT condone this kind of behavior.


Comment from a user:
"Black Bloc history has a really cozy history with the police, they literally are run, funded, housed to cause chaos for the police. When the black bloc injects itself into a peaceful protest it is with violence and vandalism, to make the crowd seem violent and ridiculous to the public. When the police come in they do not touch the black bloc, they only harrass and beat up legitimate protesters. This is how it is done, its called order out of chaos, the police create the chaos to 'restore order" by youtube.com/LaRezNar

  • 1. It wasn't all "men" wearing black. Believe it or not, women can fight, too.

    2. Calling everyone in black "police plants" is ridiculous. The police paid 50 officers to break windows at a whole foods? That really makes sense to you?

    3. Liberals love talking about "non-violence," but they'll try to bust a chair over your head for breaking an inanimate object!

  • @jjcascadia

    1. I will change the title, you are right there might be women doing this too.

    2. The CIA, feds, and local police forces have used undercover agents and put them in "Blac Bloc" , all black clothing, to turn a protest violent so they can arrest, and shut down the rally. It is a common tactic used throughout history in the U.S.A and is still going on. So yes, undercover police force is a possibility.

    3.I am not a liberal, this is not a liberal movement. No one I know would do that.

  • @USAmericansWakeUp Ok, thank for changing that. You are absolutely right that police infiltration has been an issue social movements have always had to deal with - ours being no exception. However, I think in this case, it was pretty obvious these weren't police plants. These were just people using a tactic they thought worked, for whatever ends they had.

    And to address your last point, sorry I assumed that about you. But there are people in the video who are attacking black block kids.

  • @jjcascadia I dont believe in violence in any means, unless it is self defense. So this video disturbs me, doesn't solve anything, and doesn't help the movement at all. I am all for ending corruption, but that is a HUGE battle, one we likely won't win, especially if we are fighting EACH OTHER, instead of focusing on battling the LEADERS, CEOs, REGULATORS, WALL STREET BANKERS, ETC of this country. This type of fighting is a waste of time & energy,

  • Just grapple them. Any strong males in the area need to bearhug and pin anyone they see destroying property, while shouting "I will not hurt you, I'm placing you under citizens arrest, I'm only holding you." until the police can be brought over. The crowds should make it policy to swarm any offenders that become violent and hurt the movement.

  • They were clearly plants by the wealthy to give an excuse to bust up the rally.

  • fuck occupying start rioting

  • Ah, yes.. The Arab Spring withh becomes an American Spring and Fall was a warm up! Obama and Soros and the unions!! That is why Whole Foods was attacked! Open Shop! Funny that the lame stream Libtard media is silent since that Arab Spring! How they gushed over Egypt and the regime change, I recall Trumpka and MSLSD hosts bubbly over that! Guess they are silent since the muslim Brotherhood took over.. WEll, Keep dry powder and always have th ereloader operating!!

  • Occupy people you have take care of these blac block jackoffs. do what you have to do

  • @USAmericansWakeUp Why would police dress in black when it would be much simpler and effective camouflage to dress in a fake beard and dreadlocks to better blend in with the hippy crowd?

  • Once we take money out of politics, we won't have this kind of opposition. It is clear to me, they were "sent" by someone who wanted to make the Occupy movement look bad. Your movement just doesn't promote this kind of behavior. You support small businesses, as well as, the people. Most of the violent actions have been from "others" onto peaceful protesters, and even in those incidents, there was no resistance by Occupiers. If anything, those were the times we might have seen it crop up.

  • Where are the police? Oh yeah, you block and impede them from coming into your rallies

  • I respect protest, the right to assembly, and free speech. I resent the disgusting state of our economy and our enormous wage gap. But, I DO NOT EVER CONDONE assholes vandalizing small businesses in a city that has spent the last 20 years struggling to grow, clean up, and overcome a serious image problem. I love my home town, and I will not tolerate hypocritical, angry anarchists abusing it for nothing more than pleasure.

  • if u do this at occupy LA i will beat your ass trust we will not tolerate your childish shit

  • @semowery The banks screwed them too.
