They met at Frank Ogawa Plaza, the rest of the story is trashing and vandalism.. a almost 'on demand' occurrence these days.. sad what some have devolved to.

I am challenging that figure of $12K in damages.
One building alone had over $6K in Glass damage alone.
There were numerous buildings that lost their windows—large Bank plate glass windows.
Cars damaged.
Paint sprayed everywhere. One quote to clean the paint from just one building was over $3000.
Some quotes out of Oakland say it may be as high as $100K.

The Oakland Police monitor only conservative blogs and tweets for threats LOL

But the Police Department had no idea the march was going to occur, and by the time officials realized a large gathering was forming and vandalism had begun, it was too late to call in off-duty officers for extra support, said police spokeswoman Johnna Watson. "We did not have any information that we had 200 to 300 protesters on their way here," Watson said. "The march presented itself, and in that march, they went very quickly doing their vandalism.
"That is very difficult from a law enforcement perspective," Watson continued.
Hogwash. Oakland needed a new mayor, but it also needs a new police chief, apparently.
What if this was a real life threatening emergency, would the same excuse be given?

I guess they have not yet heard of having machine guns and flame thowers at the ready for these “occurances”.

They must have been upset by Oakland’s colonial empire.

You jest, but I think this is a taste of what’s to come, soon.
The left will use this rabble as their army to “put down” conservatives, and the police will only step in and interfere when conservatives fight back.

It be a good way to allow such people to self-select for removal from the gene pool.

Aside from shooting them ALL, I think the next best thing is follow them home...and retaliate in kind.

Oakland is a dirty imperialist city? Who knew?
Dirty, yes. But I doubt if there are very many imperialists there, especially in city hall.

Hey Normy!
I find it rather odd that there are NO photos of the “protesters” (read thugs). I know Oakland.........
‘nuff said.
And they couldn’t find one cop to check it out? Not even a cruiser? Something stinks.
