Occupy Oakland; The New Face Of Terrorism: Teepees.

by Darin Bauer
In light of the recent police brutality where large brave men beat up unarmed people at the FUCK THE POLICE rally on Saturday, I thought the recent encampment at Oscar Grant Plaza fully represented the collective conscious of our radical movement.

My friend was beaten and received severe bruising, his girlfriend was thrown down hard on the pavement, I didn't get any photos from that evening as I was not there. Just the same these tactics of brutality come the day after the teepees were erected. I find there is an imbalance. After other protesters pulled said young lady from the reach of the police one of the cops threw her bicycle at her. Take at good look at the new face of terrorism. See what devious new terrorist plot instigates such cruel and unusual tactics from the police.

Great idea, thanks for posting.

From an email:

As of Monday night, 60 "tents" have now been pitched on the lawn area of Oscar Grant Plaza. However, they are very, very small "tents" (teepees, actually)! Check out the photos of them, at: http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2012/01/10/18704512.php

Also, Occupy Oakland would really like for more people to be attending the general assembly meetings (and if possible, to also volunteer for committees and working groups, etc.). The general assembly (g.a.) meetings are held at 6:00 pm on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and 2:00 pm on Sundays. More info (including about committees and working groups) is at: http://occupyoakland.org The g.a. meetings are held at Oscar Grant Plaza (also known as Frank Ogawa Plaza), at 14th and Broadway (although a few may soon be held 5 blocks up the street at Telegraph and 19th) -- please come by as much as you possibly can! And be sure to check out http://occupyoakland.org for the latest news and updates!
We are 100% volunteer and depend on your participation to sustain our efforts!
