As veterans and their supporters march in downtown, police are distributing eviction notices to campers at Occupy Oakland. The move comes just one day after a man -- whose name has not been released by police -- was shot and killed after an apparent fight near the Occupy Oakland tent city. The mayor and other city leaders are also stepping up calls for the camp to disband.
6 p.m. Mayor releases statement about Occupy Oakland, says 'risk are too great'
Mayor Jean Quan has issued a statement following the police distribution of eviction notices to campers at Occupy Oakland. "Last night's tragic incident on the plaza has elevated concerns about the safety of the encampment and people who also use the space. The risks are too great and it is time for the encampment to end. Quan said there were also five other emergency calls for service in the area Thursday.
At 3:23 p.m. there was a call about a pedestrian hit by a vehicle at 14th Street and Broadway. The incident appeared to be unrelated to the Occupy Oakland incident. A young man was being pursued by downtown security and ran in front of a car and was hit. He sustained minor injuries and was transported by paramedics.
At 5:08 p.m. emergencycrews responded to 15th Street and Broadway for a pedestrian that was hit by an OPD squad car that appeared to be responding to the shooting. The man who was hit had nonlife threatening injuries and was treated by paramedics.

They need to stay on a Wells Fargo owned property.
It’s their Official Bank.
Quan is better suited for delivering Kung Pao chicken with fried rice to my restaurant table or tailoring the hems in my pants for next day pickup.
Somebody is reading the polls. LOL
Quan’s husband is with the “Occupy” idiots and was one of the people who led the march that shut down the Port of Oakland a couple of weeks ago.
Good grief. That figures.
Depending on your time zone, at midnight Pacific Standard Time this Saturday (going into Sunday) the Portland Police Department is going to clear out Occupy Portland (OR).
The Occupiers have stated that they’re staying put. Should be interesting.

Pass the popcorn, and crack open a tall cold one.

'We can't hold elections amid this kind of chaos.'
