Oakland PD used tear gas and concussion grenades to clear the streets last night, as protesters attempted to reclaim their Occupy Oakland encampment. Several activists were arrested and held on $10,000 bail.
It should be obvious that politicians' claims to support the protestors are empty sound bites pandering to their liberal bases. If they supported the protestors, they'd provide showers, toilets and other necessary services or change city policies to provide more support to the unemployed, homeless and those facing foreclosure and high mortgages.
