Cops shut down Occupy Oakland; 5 helicopters, cops from other cities used to tear down tarps, bust 70 protesters
From Katie Hickox:
Mark,
If you have time, www.kpfa.org is reporting live the OccupyOakland shutdown that happened today at 4:30am, used 5 helicopters, arrested 70 protesters, tore down and removed all tarps in Frank Ogawa plaza. They used cops from other cities to shut it down.
Oakland mayor Quan has been the subject of a recall (because she’s first Asian female mayor) and accused of being soft on protesters by the right.
