Observer at the Oakland Docks Blockade called and gave me this update:
At leat 200 people blocking each gate x3 gates = at least 600 people blocking the entrances to "not exactly sure which berths, we were at berths 60-63 and the sign for the gate we're at now looks like it says berths 43-65-87, not sure if that's right."
More cops showing up. Lots of them HAVE THEIR GAS MASKS ON!
Cops doing some pushing and shoving. They have their "less lethal" shot guns out.
Those blocking entrances are letting people out but no one in. There is a big line of dockers waiting to get it. They are just hanging out - don't seem to be upset.

...Waiting for futher updates....
