The local Tribune reported Occupy Oakland protest, which began as a
most peaceful strike, turned chaotic. Early in the morning on Thursday,
protesters started to take over a vacant building and police, immediately,
suppressed the protest by firing tear gas and rubber bullets according to the
Tribune. Along with marches and tent encampments, protestors shot down the Port
of Oakland because they wanted to stop the “flow of capital.” I’m against
violent demonstrations, but police brutality should not be overlooked at the
same time. Furthermore, the government, politicians, and, more importantly,
“the one percent” must understand why “the ninety nine percent” is so angry and
who they are mad at.
