A website claiming to be the official site of Oakland Mayor Jean Quan appeared recently, mimicking the official Oakland website entirely, but adding a statement of support for "Occupy Oakland" demonstrations that did not come from Quan, according to officials in the mayor's office.
The website at www.oaklandmayor.com is almost an exact replica of the city's official website at www.oaklandnet.com, including previous statements the mayor has made on the Occupy Oakland protests.
But the website has added a fabricated letter purportedly from Quan apologizing to protesters for the police response to protests Tuesday, where the Occupy Oakland encampments at Frank Ogawa Plaza were raided, resulting in dozens of arrests, and police used tear gas, rubber bullets and smoke grenades to keep protesters away from the plaza later that night.
