Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsOkay, on Occupy Oakland, my local newscast (KCOY-12, Santa Maria, CA), said that
some protestors were arrested because they had dynamite and assaulted police officers. Since I have to believe this is BS or there were some disruptors there that were trying to make the protestors look bad, I'm asking anyone who really knows what happened to post here and if they have some documentation, all the better. I will contact my local news and ask them to retract what they said or at least correct the record.
I tried to find the story on their website but it seems to be absent.

I think it's BS but I want to be sure before I call them and tell them they are wrong.
