Sitting in my SanFrancisco hotel room watching Oakland police officers mobilizing to eject Occupy Oakland protesters. The scene is sickening

@teaksmama I just woke to head to airport. This police action is live on SanFran's NBC local channel. Please please be careful.

OPD is entering the park. Tearing down tents and signs. Protesters have moved to other end of park.

Bastids!

2. When the police over react, the movement grows.

Here's hoping the best for the protesters.

Oakland police have most Occupy protesters in custody. The tension was high but all sides seems to have remained nonviolent.

Hope it stays nonviolent.

6. I hope our side stays nonviolent. Thats all that matters.

No matter what they do we can't raise a fist back. We keep the high moral ground and the RWer media cant spin it against us.

oh god “@heratylaw: @MHarrisPerry Ah, ok. The ppl watching the livestreams are describing a lot of violence. #occupyoakland”


Spoke too soon....

5. I think it a Salt march style confrontation. Is inevevitable.

Sooner or later we are going to have real casulties. Just be prepared for that.

7. I think you are right.

It's inevitable. I only hope it will be a turning point.

8. Local Pacifica station, KPFA, said they will be covering it

www.kpfa.org

Their musical programming is on at the moment, but they broke in to announce the arrests and that a producer was on her way to cover what was happening.
