Oakland Spends Millions in Attack on Occupy Protesters, Closes 5 Schools Next Day

October 26, 2011 in Front Page

On Tuesday evening at 5pm Occupy Oakland gathered at the foot of the Oakland Library on 14th Avenue before setting off on a march past the jail and onward to Frank Ogawa Plaza. The peaceful gathering swelled as it marched through downtown, growing upwards of 1,000 people strong. Along their route were police from 17 jurisdictions in California, decked out in riot gear and weaponry.

Just before 8pm the police began throwing concussion grenades and tear gas directly into the crowd, injuring several nonviolent protesters.

Just to let you know where Oakland and their 1% masters priorities are. Millions for violent suppression of free speech and assembly and not a dime for schools!:mad:

1. People really need to merge into the Oakland Occupation to swell the ranks and show the pigs

that what doesn't kill us only makes us stronger.

2. after 9/11, Homeland Security funded lots of these

communities with equipment and machines and vehicles. Now we have a bunch of macho folks in charge of these units---geared toward our own citizens,

(who are equated with terrorists ---esp by the RW).


dam!
