En la tarde del Domingo Enero 15, 2012 la Policia de la Ciudad de Oakland llego a la Plaza Oscar Grand (Frank Ogawa) con unos papeles en mano que contenia fotografias impresas. Las cuales fueron utilizadas para identificar miembros de la Oakland Occupy (OO). A un punto la policia trato de arrestar a uno de los miembros del OO. Pero al mismo tiempo otro miembro fue alertar a resto que estabamos participando en la Asamblea General del dia, al otro lado de la plaza. Alrededor de cincuenta OO miembros se acercaron a la policia y les cantaban, en son de protesta, de que se fueran a sus casas. La presencia de la policia eran como siete (7) patrullas y al menos diez (10) policias. Entre ellos incluia una mujer policia de raza blanca. Al final no hubieron arrestos, pero si la mala impresion de la Policia contra los protestantes del Occupy Oakland.

    body armor, guns, tasers, pepper spray, billy clubs. Why dont these well armed gentlemen take on the ORGANIZED CRIME in Oakland?

    I guess it is easier to hassle peaceful protesters with trumped up crimes rather than confront the blatant felonious racketeering in our town.
