Last night the #OccupyOakland protest, a thus far entirely peaceful assembly of local demonstrators, faced the most aggressive police onslaught of any U.S. occupation since the #OccupyWallStreet movement began.

The story is only able to be told in short bursts, piece by piece from photos and videos recorded by those who were there. Here is a set of links and media:

The evening starts calm enough with between 2,000 and 5,000 coming together near Snow Park. Photo from Instagram user @diondecibel.

1. I recognize that wound --

as the same kind from the anti-war protests in the East Bay back in 2003. :mad: But there WERE no rubber bullets used in Oakland according to the Mayor/Chief.

Thanks for the link, Steve!

2. So the Mayor AND the Police chief deny use of the rubber bullets, eh?

There is enough video going viral to provide plenty of evidence at the trials.
