Occupy Oakland protesters rousted from anti-Wall Street encampment
Riot-clad law enforcement officers cleared out a weeks-old anti-Wall Street encampment in Oakland just before dawn Monday after issuing several warnings to Occupy demonstrators.
Protesters appeared to put up little resistance to the raid and officers could be seen leading some handcuffed demonstrators away from the downtown plaza where the camp had been set up. Warnings from Oakland authorities had been similar to those issued before officers raided the encampment on Oct. 25 with tear gas and bean bag projectiles.
The action came a day after police drove hundreds of anti-Wall Street demonstrators from weeks-old encampments in Portland, arresting more than 50 people.
Oakland officials stepped up calls for an end to their city's encampment after a man was shot and killed Thursday near the camp. Police issued a fourth cease and desist order Sunday night telling demonstrators they couldn't camp in the plaza.
Mayor Jean Quan had allowed protesters to reclaim the disbanded site after facing criticism after the Oct. 25 raid. The camp grew substantially afterward, although city officials said on Sunday the number of tents has dropped by about 30 to 150 since Nov. 8.
Officials across the country have been urging an end to similar gatherings in the wake of three deaths in different cities, including two by gunfire.
Demands for Oakland protesters to pack up increased after a man was shot and killed Thursday near the encampment site.
Protesters had said that there was no connection between the shooting and the camp. But police Sunday night identified the slain man as 25-year-old Kayode Ola Foster of Oakland, saying his family confirmed he had been staying at the plaza.
Police officer Johnna Watson said witnesses have told police that one of two suspects in the shooting had also been a frequent resident at the plaza. The suspects are being sought and their names haven't been released.
Investigators suspect that the shooting resulted from a fight between two groups of men.
In the hours after the midnight Saturday eviction deadline in Portland, the anti-Wall Street protesters and their supporters had flooded the park area. At one point, the crowd swelled to thousands. As dawn arrived, riot police had retreated and most of the crowds had gone home, but protesters who have been at the two parks since Oct. 6 were still there, prompting one organizer to declare the night a victory for the movement.
"We stood up to state power," Jim Oliver told The Associated Press.
It didn't last. Police moved in later. An officer on a loudspeaker warned that anyone who resisted risked arrest and "may also be subject to chemical agents and impact weapons." Demonstrators chanted "we are a peaceful protest."
"We were talking about what we were going to do and then they just started hitting people. Seems like a waste of resources to me," protester Mike Swain, 27, told the AP.
One man was taken away on a stretcher; he was alert and talking to paramedics, and raised a peace sign to fellow protesters, who responded with cheers.
City officials erected temporary chain-link fences with barbed wire at the top around three adjacent downtown parks, choking off access for demonstrators as parks officials cleaned up.
Mayor Sam Adams Sunday defended his order to clear the park, saying it is his job to enforce the law and keep the peace. "This is not a game," Adams said.
Officials said that one officer suffered minor injuries. Police had prepared for a possible clash, warning that dozens of anarchists may be planning a confrontation with authorities.
In other cities over the weekend:
— In Salt Lake City, police arrested 19 people Saturday when protesters refused to leave a park a day after a man as found dead inside his tent at the encampment.
— In Albany, N.Y., police arrested 24 Occupy Albany protesters after they defied an 11 p.m. curfew in a state-owned park.
— In Denver, authorities arrested four people as they forced protesters to leave a downtown encampment.
— In San Francisco, police said two demonstrators attacked two police officers in separate incidents during a march, leaving them with minor injuries. The assailants couldn't be located.

Lol
Your misinformed,
In Denver the police DID do that. But Occupy still stays there all day every day.
The police "Tearing it down" is just the next step. Those people aren't going away. They'll be back tomorrow, and the next day, and the next day.
LOL LOL
The police being brutal, and them not resisting, just makes it all THAT much easier for EVERYONE.

I'm just pointing out that your "quote" from my quote about people not being in debt, is about how if "Intentional debt" isn't included, less people are in debt."doesn't count"?
what are you even trying to say?
No SHIT less people would be in debt.
But in the real world, if you have a mmortgage of $300,000,000 your going to have to pay it one day. (Over time)
If you keep $1000 used on your card every month, knowing "I can pay it back sometime" your in debt. What happens when ALL your money is gone, and that $1000 is still missing on the card??
occupy oakland, the occupy that i am focused on, is GONE.
watched the dudes in white tyvex coming in with pressure washers as the LOCAL news ended 40 mins ago. all the protestors were gone and the cops were leaving.
OCCUPY OAKLAND IS OVER.
there is one dude up in a tree. the cops were just shaking their head at him as they waved their tazers. he won't be there much longer. no other conflicts or violence. 20 something people were peacefully arrested. the rest simply left.

My point is, the quote you pulled out of my quote. Was really coming out of your ASS.
Because "Intentional debt" still counts

Which means.
That I proved that there is more debt than before.
Which means I proved more debtors were Iphone buyers, if they had record sales this generation of phone.
Which means MORE people are going into MORE debt. Which means when inflation rises, or the depression hits, MORE people will be FORCED to go live in shanty's like "Occupy". Whether they agree with Occupy, or not.

i never said it didn't.My point is, the quote you pulled out of my quote. Was really coming out of your ASS.

i said people put themselves into debt. wtf are they protesting about? you can't even tell me. you just predict the future instead. the fact remains, there are NO protestors in oakland today.
i don't think you really proved anything. but if you need to feel as if you did, all be it.

You quoted it, as if it counteracted what I said...
Ok, whatever. You can breath your sigh of relief. The police just kicked them off a state park I bet. Which is ILLEGAL. Just like in Denver.
Those people STILL TALK, I bet they ALL stay somewhere together tonight. Or at least 25% of them.
And those numbers will grow back BIGGER, Lol. Think, think.

Not all of them just want "A shelter"
That didn't just die. LOL LOL LOL LOL
it's over.
the mayor of Oakland said "we hear your voice. now you need to take your message further."
crickets.
everyone left.
she asked 4 times to meet with people from occupy Oakland to ask what she could do to help.
crickets.
it's over. until someone decides what they want. and i don't think a tent city at city hall is a long term answer.
