A warning to Oakland P.D.

[WillowTree]

Everything I've seen about that incident, including comments by the police themselves, indicates that the actions which resulted in the crackdown weren't taken by Occupy but by violent rowdies who had moved in on the same space. The police did the right thing and this has nothing to do with the movement really.

It doesn't matter--when people see others getting away with civil disobedience-(camping out unlawfully in public parks)---you are going to attract many others whom may not be a civil as you.

If any violence comes out of this--the ONLY people who are going to be blamed will be the occupy whatever protest group in it's entirety. Obviously it's heating up already.

and remember they have obamallama's blessing.. yep

They started an Occupy Birmingham movement here in Alabama but I really haven't seen these guys do much of anything yet.

Met some in Dallas. Not impressed.

Looks like a kooky nerd. lol! Somehow i doubt the Oakland P.D. is shaking in their boots. Unless he's armed to the teeth he has no chance. The Oakland P.D. has the guns & tanks. They will win in he end. So welcome to Nanny State/Police State America. So many wanted it. Well here it is. Enjoy.

Looking at the crowd.... they are mostly all imports. Here in SF (across the bay from oakland) we get "protesters" from a good 200 miles around.

They have nothing to do with any "protest" .. but are all about causing shit.

I agree. I live in Concord. I don't believe this had anything with OWS. More likely agitators looking for a clash with the police.

I believe there are a few, very few, there with good intentions, they are just getting swallowed up by the clowns.

Now we have the Nazi party and Muslims joining in on the OCCUPY whatever PROTEST group.

The tea party movement strength--HERMAN CAIN LEADS ALL GOP candidates--& Newt Gingrich--my favorite--is closing in--

That's the difference between OWS and the Tea Party Movement in this country.

These protests are going nowhere. They already have their Socialists/Progressives in power,so what do they think they're going to gain? Their guys are and have been in power for years. What are they gonna do when their guys lose power? Because that day is rapidly approaching. I guess we'll see.
