Occupy Oakland Move-In Day - The Return to Oscar Grant Plaza, 1/28/12: photos 
While hundreds were still in the process of being arrested in front of the YMCA on Broadway, at least 100 people who had not been kettled or managed to escape the kettle through the YMCA marched down Broadway back towards downtown, reaching Oscar Grant Plaza around 7:30pm. As many of of the marchers milled around the plaza, a few others gained access to Oakland City Hall and brought out a U.S. flag. The crowd on the front steps of the City Hall building quickly grew as protesters tried seve...

OPD gets free facial recognition/video enhancement software to target Occupy Oakland 
So, right-wing Southern California company Cognitech has given it's pricey Tri-Suite11 video enhancement software to OPD to hunt down supposed Occupy Oakland scofflaws. Pricey, because the software is so expensive that Cognitech doesn't list the sales price on their website. Right-wing, because Cognitech is assisting Oakland police in its attempts to violently crush Occupy Oakland on behalf of the Chamber of Commerce and apologists such as Oakland's own ineffectual dem-lib poodles. Right-wi...

A Call To Oakland's Non-Violent Movement: We Must Lead By Example As a non-violent activist committed to social justice, I question where these advocates of brave, non-violent disobedience were when the police began shooting people with rubber bullets, tear gassing them, and shooting exploding concussion bombs into the crowd that was attempting to occupy the Kaiser building? Where were these voices, who now rise up to condemn the violence of the protesters in article after article, when they needed to be on the front line providing an example of a disciplin...

#J28: A Day of Community, a Day of Violence 
On January 28th, I attended Occupy Oakland’s Move-In day, with the personal understanding that OPD would attempt to prevent us from occupying a building (an action I believe to be community-focused, and needed, while also illegal). What I did not expect was that I would experience and/or witness, tear gas, rubber bullets and flash grenades used against a primarily non-violent crowd, in full daylight, with no discretion whatsoever....

Occupy Oakland Move-In Day - 19th Street and YMCA Kettles, 1/28/12: photos 
After an hour respite from police attacks on Move-In Day, hundreds of marchers headed northward out of Oscar Grant Plaza up San Pablo Avenue, presumably to reclaim an alternate vacant building for use as a community center for Occupy Oakland. Within fifteen minutes, Oakland police began to challenge marchers by forming lines across downtown streets blocking the path of the march....

Jailed for Marching in Oakland: What it means for you and your children. We were jailed for marching. Some were jailed for walking home from the grocery store. We were denied medication, sleep, blankets, time, sanitation, and given bologne sandwiches for breakfast lunch and dinner even though many are vegetarians or could not eat that meat for religious reasons. Some were not booked for 40 hours, meaning we did not exist and some are still in jail and need bail money. We were put in overcrowded concrete rooms with bright flourescent light and no place to lay d...

YMCA, Autism, & Why Mental Health IS an Issue for Occupy 
Robert Wilkes, the YMCA East Bay President and CEO is attempting to say that those including myself, an Autistic person, are felons who aided in a burglary of the YMCA, as part of a plan to use the center and its staff as "a human shield". His explanation of events is untrue.
I am not ashamed to say that I was scared of being kettled by the Oakland Police. I was in a trapped situation and had a panic attack. The police gave no dispersal order, and no way out of their blockade, nor was any...
