Yesterday at around 5am, 500 police in riot gear from cities all over central California brutally attacked the Occupy Oakland encampment at 14th & Broadway. As of just a few hours ago, they are still attacking the peaceful protest with flash grenades, tear gas, and rubber bullets after moving in with armored vehicles. Apparently the media was not allowed in to document this repression, and the police established barricades as far apart as 11th and 17th. Over 70 people were arrested and the camp gear was destroyed and/or stolen by the riot police.
Contact the mayor and tell her what you think of her actions. http://www.oaklandnet.com/contactmayor.asp
@Jecks71 But we as american citizens have the right to PROTEST!

god the morons at the occupy movement...just shoot them if they're too stupid to know what free speech is. free speech means you can say what you want without risk of retribution. not free to create a squalored little trash heap of tents and camp out in public parks for 2 months because your butts are sore cause some people make more money than they do and god forbid they have to make their own. here's a clue for the college idiots, majors like literary arts don't mean jack in the real world

Needs more of the moments leading up to the first tear gas cannister. Otherwise, excellent vid.

@DBgoober1 I believe the law is stated clearly in the constitution and the law states clearly what shall be done to those whom violate it. The constitution is LAW! Good day to you sir.

@420PATROCK So, the cops were right!!! You are not a peaceful protester. Your just some thug revolutionary wannabe that needs stopped before he usurps the power of the people.

Yeah, I was getting to the point logically speaking. I'd say 95% of U.S. born citizens have NO CLUE what the U.S. CONSTITUTION much less FREEDOM is. People are waking up. They are educating themselves! The horrible truth is coming out.
