Police Use Gas, Shotguns, and Grenades to Break Up Occupy Oakland

No, I'm not joking that's what, "firing tear gas, rubber bullets and beanbags into the protest and lobbing flashbang grenades," means, and that's what the cops did in Oakland.

Interestingly enough, the day before a recall effort was initiated against Oakland Mayor Jean Quan, and I'm wondering if there might have been some sort of cause and effect.

There allegations of problems at the Oakland protest, sanitation and vandalism, but I would like to hear something about from someone other than the authorities who initiated the crackdown.

There has since been a protest march to Oakland city hall over the arrests, with some scuffles.

I'm waiting for the police to ride down the protesters on camels and horses.
