Occupy Oakland

March Against the Police State: Oct 29th

Tweet

Several hundred Occupy Oakland supporters took to the streets to speak out against the police state they feel has developed in Oakland, California. Clashes with the police earlier in the week saw OPD and officers from other districts shooting tear gas and firing rubber bullets into crowds of demonstrators. During those clashes, on Oct. 26th, Iraq war veteran Scott Olsen is believed to have been hit with a police tear gas canister in the head and was rushed to hospital where he is still in critical condition as of Oct. 30th.
