(10-25) 04:48 PDT OAKLAND -- Oakland police are arriving this morning in force, apparently preparing to remove hundreds of people from a plaza outside City Hall, two weeks after the protesters began building an intricate encampment as part of the Occupy Wall Street movement against corporate greed and economic inequality.
Officers in riot helmets began arriving at Frank Ogawa Plaza at the corner of 14th Street and Broadway at 4:45 a.m. and formed a line in the street adjacent to the plaza. Some protesters began shouting, "Cops, go home!"

all the footage out of Oakland has been bizarre.
Not that they others aren’t bizarre...but the other protests are pretty much what you expect - clueless pot-smoking youth who think Che Gueverrea is cool.
This Oakland bunch - they’re another beast entirely.
You could see the fear in the reporters’ eyes.
The thugs had their faces covered - menacing.
Evil oozed out of them.
MSNBC reporting about how ‘peaceful’ it all went down. Not buying it...the occupiers are twittering that they are ‘regrouping’...lots of masked occupiers menacing the streets. it’s not over...perhaps Obama can tell them like he did the Islamists and AQ in Libya:
“You Have Won Your Revolution”
I am reading comments on the OWS live feed and they are saying the camp that was raided is a ‘sub-camp’ and that there are ‘more’. I’m not buying it. Wishful thinking on their part.
The guy with the camera just said, “I did not have a puff at all, all night, so I just wanted you to know I can stay straight for you guys.” geez
I am watching the revolution’s ‘Live Stream’..it’s really bizarre. The ‘citizen’ reporter is bragging right now that he refused to smoke some pot so he could be clear headed to report....LOL. He seems to be wandering the streets and can’t find any action to report...rotflol. They are regrouping near MLK Boulevard and 16th to film some press conference.

LOL!!! What a maroon!
There are two camps..one is Snow park and the other Ogala...??? The Ogala one is the worst of the two. There seems to be a media black-out all of a sudden..
‘Occupy’ protesters are telling followers to reconvene at 4 p.m. at the Oakland public library’s main branch.”
Oh good...just in time for Happy Hour and the evening news...LOL!!
Thanks! You always ‘have your finger on the pulse’ for info, hon!!! :-)
#OccupyBarackObama today in San Francisco - let him know that citizens won't stand for the Bill of Rights being violated #occupyOakland #ows
Well...this should get interesting...lol!
Sh!t, meet Fan...
They need to bring a few gallons of soap as well.
Now that I come to think about it, bleach. Massive amounts of bleach.
Bravo!
Its a “Disinfect a Hippie Rally”.
Just tell them they’re getting a free shower, since its free, they should come out in droves.
This right here is why I have zero sympathy for the neighbors.
They were ousted for their own safety as much as anything.
Personally, I thought Oakland should just relent to their demands. Instead of a border fence to keep out illegals, why not build a big fence to keep the protestors in. Let them stay there as long as they want...with the caveat that once they leave they can't come back in.
