Occupy Oakland fights back against OPD on Move-In Day, 1/28/2012

Meanwhile, twitter reports from the Oakland Solidarity March in NYC, 1/29/2012: “Occupiers marching up Broadway. Took over 6th Ave, then forced back onto sidewalk… Someone yells, ‘Sidewalks are counter-revolutionary!’”

FYI, that ‘whose streets?’ chant doesn’t work so well when you’re on the sidewalk.

LET’S GO OAKLAND

On January 29, 2011, Hillary Clinton told Hosni Mubarak: “We urge the Egyptian authorities not to prevent peaceful protests.” 

On October 25, 2011, Oakland Police told peaceful protesters: “I hereby declare this to be an unlawful assembly. If you refuse to go now, chemical agents will be used.”
