The confrontation came hours after Oakland’s police evicted squatters from their Occupy Oakland communes in which 97 squatters were arrested. Police repeatedly warned demonstrators blocking the entrance to Frank Ogawa Plaza to disperse.
Refusing to heed the warnings, the anarchists threw turquoise and red paint at the faces and helmets of the officers, rocks, insults and chanted “this is why we call you pigs.”

UPDATE 4 – Smashing a police car (hat tip: San Francisco Chronicle reporter Matthai Kuruvila). Image courtesy of Big Government.
Situation out of hand police began firing flash-bang grenades, tear gas canisters and rubber bullets into the crowd.
In the following video, “…Police warn protesters to disperse from ‘unlawful assembly,’ give four-minute warning before use of tear gas…” ZOMBIE (PJ MEDIA)
The response, “SO WHAT, WHO THE F*** ARE YOU”, yada, yada, yada and so it begins…
As you can see, instead of walking away from trouble, the useful idiots turned back and from there, it went downhill and fast.
ZOMBIE (PJ MEDIA) has plenty of video footage pertaining to the riot last night in Oakland.
ZOMBIE refers us over to VERUM SERUM who has no shortage of footage of events that took place earlier in the day.
“…Here’s video of the same scene (or a moment later) at street level. As you can see, protesters threw paint bombs and cursed at Oakland PD:…”

“…Police had announced over a loudspeaker that those who refused to leave could be targeted by ‘chemical agents’. One woman in a wheelchair, who was struggling to breathe, had to be helped away by friends while another woman, hit by a canister, was carried off.
Jerry Smith, 35, said a tear gas canister had rolled to his feet and sprayed him directly in the face.
Mr Smith said: ‘I got the feeling they meant business, but people were not going to be intimidated. We can do this peacefully, but still not back down….”
Beautiful Job Puma.. I’ve got a good idea how much work it is to put a post like this together… before it becomes old news. I post a link back here so people can get an idea what last night was like
These kid’s don’t have a clue, I feel sorry for them, they’re being used by professionals, and they don’t know it.. They blame the banks because their schools inflated college costs at three times the inflation rate.. The professors that are telling them to blame the banks are as guilty as the banks of price gouging..
Hamas, Iran, American Nazis and communists, all, who for different reasons want to see America collapse aren’t supporting OWS because they care about student loans, social injustice or whatever. Obama and other politicians will give lip service, then go back to asking the people these kids are complaining about for money….

D,. you be careful out there, you hear. You’re sitting at ground zero (pretty much) and we need you.
Parenthetically some new friends of mine down in Lincoln have started their own. I suspect they’re Ron Paulites, but what the heck.
Their new slogan is “OCCUPY REASON”

Good afternoon Nebraska Energy,
Actually I am on the opposite side of the country but I am a hair’s breath away from Wall Street (NYC).
I have certain links that I follow who are posting up to minute information but it remains just as dangerous here in NYC being that I had better know who I am sharing my information with. I cannot trust everyone.
Unfortunately, it is now beyond the point that there are certain people that I cannot divulge such events to. There are far too many who prefer to live in the dark and any attempts at bringing them into the life can prove dangerous but as long as there is free speech, I will expose the wrongs.
My ex cab driver with whom I discussed these things before retiring often shared our discussions with his wife. Shortly before retiring, he warned me to be careful with whom I discuss such matters.
Alas, my friend. I believe it to be my destiny to “beat the drum” and right the wrongs.
P.S. When I first started my blog, I was naive enough to believe that all Americans were capable of agreeing to disagree. Now that was rough but I needed toughening up. Two and half years later, I know better.
Please tell your friends to be careful as well and thank you for your concern.

I am aware that you are near Wall St., and that was a lot of my point. I believe they are all going to devolve and maybe quickly into violence; it’s what the left does.
I still remember the Indiana primaries in 68 when I lived about 35 miles from Gary, National Guard mobilized and the entire armory and all adjacent lots full of state police cars. When it goes bad, it goes very quickly and I wouldn’t trust your (or my) politicians to protect me from an angry puppy.
I hate working under “need to know” but it is what it is.
Dave
