AP video of Oakland Police at OccupyOakland
In clearing the Oakland encampment early Tuesday morning, police used tear gas to drive away media covering the event. This was followed by flash grenades and rubber bullets, fired into the tents on the plaza. They then tore the camp apart and arrested about 75 protesters. Police beat people, slashed tents with boxcutters and destroyed personal property. Those arrested were taken to several jails, including as far away as Dublin, California, 22 miles away. Most are being detained on $10,000 bail and are being held until Thursday.
