Apparently yesterday there was a massive Occupy Oakland demonstration, which ended in a flavor of violence and force, which Occupy Oakland hadn't tasted. There is word that a massive police presence forcefully met with #OO's massive 2000+ non violent march. There is word of many protestors equipped with home-made shields which sum more direct protestors used to clash with police. I read that after a massive arrest of 300+ young peaceful protestors were kettled and processed, all with out the cops ever declaring "unlawful assembly" to the protestors. Also word of more experienced protestors as well as more direct ones escaped arrest and occupied city hall in a solidarity gesture.
