"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

Its usage here isn't meant to infer nefarious motives on any of the players involved in possible reforms to public worker pensions -- rather, it's an acknowledgement that a major element in the debate is the unfunded costs of pension promises made, but not yet delivered, to tens of thousands of men and women who work in government jobs across California. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two proposals unveiled yesterday (\u003ca href=\"http://www.scribd.com/doc/71316500/CA-Pension-Reform-Initiatives\">press release\u003c/a>) by a cadre of Republican heavyweights -- former budget guru Mike Genest, pension crusader Dan Pellissier, former state GOP chairman Duf Sundheim, and former assemblymember Roger Niello -- could be called 'pension tough' and 'pension tougher.'\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 'pension tough,' the trip proposes a system that is modeled on the one unveiled last week by Governor Jerry Brown.

We, too, are the 99% fighting for better working conditions, fair treatment and the ability to provide a living for our children and families. We are severely understaffed with many City beats remaining unprotected by police during the day and evening hours.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As your police officers, we are confused.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Tuesday, October 25th, we were ordered by Mayor Quan to clear out the encampments at Frank Ogawa Plaza and to keep protesters out of the Plaza. We performed the job that the Mayor’s Administration asked us to do, being fully aware that past protests in Oakland have resulted in rioting, violence and destruction of property.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, on Wednesday, October 26th, the Mayor allowed protesters back in – to camp out at the very place they were evacuated from the day before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To add to the confusion, the Administration issued a memo on Friday, October 28th to all City workers in support of the “Stop Work” strike scheduled for Wednesday, giving all employees, except for police officers, permission to take the day off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s hundreds of City workers encouraged to take off work to participate in the protest against “the establishment.” But aren’t the Mayor and her Administration part of the establishment they are paying City employees to protest? Is it the City’s intention to have City employees on both sides of a skirmish line?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is all very confusing to us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, a message has been sent to all police officers: Everyone, including those who have the day off, must show up for work on Wednesday. This is also being paid for by Oakland taxpayers. Last week’s events alone cost Oakland taxpayers over $1 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Mayor and her Administration are beefing up police presence for Wednesday’s work strike they are encouraging and even “staffing,” spending hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars for additional police presence – at a time when the Mayor is also asking Oakland residents to vote on an $80 parcel tax to bail out the City’s failing finances.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All of these mixed messages are confusing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We love Oakland and just want to do our jobs to protect Oakland residents. We respectfully ask the citizens of Oakland to join us in demanding that our City officials, including Mayor Quan, make sound decisions and take responsibility for these decisions. Oakland is struggling – we need real leaders NOW who will step up and lead – not send mixed messages. Thank you for listening.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Update 4:20 p.m.\u003c/em> KQED's Mina Kim interviewed Sgt. Dom Arotzarena of the Oakland Police Officer's Association about the letter the organization sent out today. Edited transcript:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What is the point of releasing this letter?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That we're not far from the 99% of the people of the Occupy Wall Street movement. We want to support their cause and allow them to peacefully protest. It seems like we've been placed in a position that maybe we're part of the system or part of the problem and that's not the case.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\n\u003cp>We're being told to clear out a park and then three days later, it's like we were never there...\u003c/p>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>I want people to know that on Oct 25, police officers were following orders. We've been placed in a bad spot by our own city by allowing city employees to participate in the strike against Oakland tomorrow and at the same time telling police officers they have to cancel their days off and come into work that day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How does this put you in a difficult position?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You're telling part of your employees to join in the protest and you're telling the other part not to. We're getting an unfair shake being looked on as oppressors. We're being unfairly made scapegoats for a lot of stuff that's happening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What are you hoping your open letter will do? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We want support from our citizens. You hear from a small percentage of people who constantly criticize us. We want to hear from the citizens who support us. We know there's a lot of support for us here in town.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We feel there's confusing orders that have been given from the mayor's office. We want the city to get on track and make decisions and take responsibility for the decision they make. There has been some responsibility taken at the mayor's level; at the same time there's confusing messages. We're being told to clear out a park and then three days later, it's like we were never there, we're back to where we were.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We're part of this community, we're part of the 99%, we want support form the community we serve. This letter was for them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I know the business community is struggling in the city hall area. The protest is not hurting Wall Street, it's hurting our city.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2011/11/01/video-occupy-oakland-announces-call-for-general-strike/\">\u003cstrong>Click here for more on Occupy Oakland's call for a general strike tomorrow\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\n",

We, too, are the 99% fighting for better working conditions, fair treatment and the ability to provide a living for our children and families. We are severely understaffed with many City beats remaining unprotected by police during the day and evening hours.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As your police officers, we are confused.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Tuesday, October 25th, we were ordered by Mayor Quan to clear out the encampments at Frank Ogawa Plaza and to keep protesters out of the Plaza. We performed the job that the Mayor’s Administration asked us to do, being fully aware that past protests in Oakland have resulted in rioting, violence and destruction of property.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, on Wednesday, October 26th, the Mayor allowed protesters back in – to camp out at the very place they were evacuated from the day before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To add to the confusion, the Administration issued a memo on Friday, October 28th to all City workers in support of the “Stop Work” strike scheduled for Wednesday, giving all employees, except for police officers, permission to take the day off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s hundreds of City workers encouraged to take off work to participate in the protest against “the establishment.” But aren’t the Mayor and her Administration part of the establishment they are paying City employees to protest? Is it the City’s intention to have City employees on both sides of a skirmish line?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is all very confusing to us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, a message has been sent to all police officers: Everyone, including those who have the day off, must show up for work on Wednesday. This is also being paid for by Oakland taxpayers. Last week’s events alone cost Oakland taxpayers over $1 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Mayor and her Administration are beefing up police presence for Wednesday’s work strike they are encouraging and even “staffing,” spending hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars for additional police presence – at a time when the Mayor is also asking Oakland residents to vote on an $80 parcel tax to bail out the City’s failing finances.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All of these mixed messages are confusing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We love Oakland and just want to do our jobs to protect Oakland residents. We respectfully ask the citizens of Oakland to join us in demanding that our City officials, including Mayor Quan, make sound decisions and take responsibility for these decisions. Oakland is struggling – we need real leaders NOW who will step up and lead – not send mixed messages. Thank you for listening.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Update 4:20 p.m.\u003c/em> KQED's Mina Kim interviewed Sgt. Dom Arotzarena of the Oakland Police Officer's Association about the letter the organization sent out today. Edited transcript:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What is the point of releasing this letter?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That we're not far from the 99% of the people of the Occupy Wall Street movement. We want to support their cause and allow them to peacefully protest. It seems like we've been placed in a position that maybe we're part of the system or part of the problem and that's not the case.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\n\u003cp>We're being told to clear out a park and then three days later, it's like we were never there...\u003c/p>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>I want people to know that on Oct 25, police officers were following orders. We've been placed in a bad spot by our own city by allowing city employees to participate in the strike against Oakland tomorrow and at the same time telling police officers they have to cancel their days off and come into work that day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How does this put you in a difficult position?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You're telling part of your employees to join in the protest and you're telling the other part not to. We're getting an unfair shake being looked on as oppressors. We're being unfairly made scapegoats for a lot of stuff that's happening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What are you hoping your open letter will do? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We want support from our citizens. You hear from a small percentage of people who constantly criticize us. We want to hear from the citizens who support us. We know there's a lot of support for us here in town.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We feel there's confusing orders that have been given from the mayor's office. We want the city to get on track and make decisions and take responsibility for the decision they make. There has been some responsibility taken at the mayor's level; at the same time there's confusing messages. We're being told to clear out a park and then three days later, it's like we were never there, we're back to where we were.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We're part of this community, we're part of the 99%, we want support form the community we serve. This letter was for them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I know the business community is struggling in the city hall area. The protest is not hurting Wall Street, it's hurting our city.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2011/11/01/video-occupy-oakland-announces-call-for-general-strike/\">\u003cstrong>Click here for more on Occupy Oakland's call for a general strike tomorrow\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Instead, we encourage members to use legitimate time off to stand in support of Occupy Oakland and join the day’s events at the “Peaceful Day of Action.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>SEIU 1021 also addresses the city’s view on employee participation: \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>City of Oakland Workers: The City has agreed that workers may use a day of comp time, vacation time, a floating holiday or leave without pay in order to participate.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>We obtained what appears to be the \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/11/oakalndworknotice1.pdf\">\u003cstrong>memo from City Administrator Deanna Santana\u003c/strong>\u003c/a> (pdf) that authorizes the time off.

After careful consideration, I have decided all represented employees who want to avail themselves of the opportunity to participate shall have the following options…\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The memo goes on to list the type of paid time off that employees can use. It also says if employees have no applicable time off, they can use authorized leave without pay. Employees can also leave work early after 3 p.m. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The letter also cautions that “appropriate staffing for public safety personnel” must be maintained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED’s Mina Kim talked to Josie Camacho, executive secretary and treasurer of the Alameda Labor Council, about labor’s participation tomorrow. She said the council is “asking and urging our various members in our different unions to do various things within their ability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you’re going to work, wear ‘we’re 99 percenters,’ Camacho said. “If you’re coming downtown to ciy hall, join the organized bank action. We’re converging at 5pm at city hall, and a number of our unions are going to be feeding everyone that comes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what about actually going on strike, as the Occupiers are calling for? Mina Kim asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think what’s happening is that just like in the Occupy movement, there is a process of consensus. Each union, before they do call for a strike, is clear on what the issues are, they have tried everything they can to address those issues, and they take a vote. What we’re saying to people is we have a democratic process in our various unions, and just like in the (Occupy) assembly process, they need to have a voice in that decision-making. If workers just decided to walk off their job, certainly they can do that, but when they come back they may not have a job. And I don’t’ think that’s what the Occupiers want.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the city released an \u003ca href=\"http://www2.oaklandnet.com/oakca/groups/cityadministrator/documents/pressrelease/oak031990.pdf\">advisory\u003c/a> yesterday stating that all city offices and services will remain open. “We are not urging businesses to close,” the memo says. “Instead, we advise that they use common sense precautions.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The advisory goes on: “The City is addressing and monitoring all aspects of Occupy Oakland’s proposed activities for Wednesday in an effort to minimize disruption safety and to promote peace and safety. We are communicating with merchants around Ogawa Plaza and downtown businesses to let them know what precautions the city is taking and to encourage them to monitor the City’s communication channels…”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yesterday Cy Musiker talked to Fred Glass, who teaches labor history at City College of San Francisco, about the history of general strikes, including one in San Francisco in 1934 and one in Oakland in 1946. \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/kqednews/RN201110311730/a\">Listen here\u003c/a> or below:\u003c/p>\n\n",

She said the council is “asking and urging our various members in our different unions to do various things within their ability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you’re going to work, wear ‘we’re 99 percenters,’ Camacho said. “If you’re coming downtown to ciy hall, join the organized bank action. We’re converging at 5pm at city hall, and a number of our unions are going to be feeding everyone that comes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what about actually going on strike, as the Occupiers are calling for? Mina Kim asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think what’s happening is that just like in the Occupy movement, there is a process of consensus. Each union, before they do call for a strike, is clear on what the issues are, they have tried everything they can to address those issues, and they take a vote. What we’re saying to people is we have a democratic process in our various unions, and just like in the (Occupy) assembly process, they need to have a voice in that decision-making. If workers just decided to walk off their job, certainly they can do that, but when they come back they may not have a job. And I don’t’ think that’s what the Occupiers want.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the city released an \u003ca href=\"http://www2.oaklandnet.com/oakca/groups/cityadministrator/documents/pressrelease/oak031990.pdf\">advisory\u003c/a> yesterday stating that all city offices and services will remain open. “We are not urging businesses to close,” the memo says. “Instead, we advise that they use common sense precautions.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The advisory goes on: “The City is addressing and monitoring all aspects of Occupy Oakland’s proposed activities for Wednesday in an effort to minimize disruption safety and to promote peace and safety. We are communicating with merchants around Ogawa Plaza and downtown businesses to let them know what precautions the city is taking and to encourage them to monitor the City’s communication channels…”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Like many people all over the country, I have been watching this protest gather strength and grow as more and more of us, more of the 99% demand accountability from the corporations and people who are responsible for the destruction of our economy and devastation of our families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I came to down to observe the protest last night in response to summons from protesters and a notice from the police accusing their encampment of a number of minor infractions, ranging from open flames on a city street or sidewalk to serving food without a permit. I observed and negotiated with police in good faith to keep the peace and allow the encampment to remain, only to hear of a crackdown shortly after I left.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is not the San Francisco that I know. This is not the San Francisco I love. This City has served as a sanctuary for free speech and assembly for generations, and we must protect that legacy. With our unemployment rate nearing 10%, we have a responsibility to be a sanctuary for the 99%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, last night we witnessed that 99% being detained, arrested, and intimidated with force.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My vision is of a true sanctuary city – one that protects our right to free speech and assembly, and one that holds real criminals accountable. This should be a city for the rest of us – for the 99%.

That’s why I am doing everything I can to create jobs, get people back to work and make our families stronger here in San Francisco. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I support the spirit of the Occupy Wall Street movement that calls for peacefully assembling to protest and bring national attention to disparity issues in our country. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In San Francisco, protesters are acting within their First Amendment right to free speech and freedom to assemble. While allowing for peaceful protests, we also must ensure that our streets and sidewalks remain safe and accessible for everyone. I will continue to work closely with our Police Chief to ensure San Francisco responds appropriately to these demonstrations. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco is a city that embraces free speech and freedom to assemble like no other city.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The Federal Reserve sent out an email today to all employees who work in the Federal Reserve building, the center of the protests. An employee of one of the tenants in that building forwarded us the email:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>As you are aware, Occupy SF protesters had built an encampment on the public sidewalk outside the Bank’s property along Main, Market and Spear streets. Overnight, the City of San Francisco Police and Public Works departments requested that the protesters dismantle and remove their structures from the public sidewalk and they complied. We understand that the SFPD told the protesters that they could continue to protest on the public sidewalk daily as they wish, but without the encampment. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While we were informed by the San Francisco Police Department of their plans, Bank management deferred to the City’s judgment and knowledge in handling these situations, as we rely on the expertise of the Police in terms of what is legally permitted with respect to such gatherings. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Employee safety is our biggest concern and we will continue to carefully monitor future protests to ensure your safety as well as the integrity of our property and our building. We will continue to keep you informed as the situation warrants, and encourage you to use the back entrance when entering and leaving the building. \u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>So, what’s the protesting about?

According to Adbusters, a primary protest organizer, the central demand of the protest is that President Obama “ordain a Presidential Commission tasked with ending the influence money has over our representatives in Washington”.Liberal commentator Michael Moore had suggested that this is not like any other protest but this protest represents a variety of demands with a common statement about government corruption and the excessive influence of big business and the wealthiest 1 percent of Americans on U.S. laws and policies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Peripheral demands such as raising taxes on the rich, raising taxes on corporations, ending corporate welfare, support for trade unionism, and protecting Medicare and Social Security in their traditional forms are expressed by some participants. Occupy Maine is asking for an investment in public transportation infrastructure and the return home of Maine National Guardsmen from wars overseas.

The officers guarded city workers who removed tents, sleeping bags and other belongings…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The camp was taken down hours after several hundred people marched through the Financial District in an Occupy SF-organized protest.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>KQED’s Amy Standen was downtown today and said about 150 protesters are still there. Apparently, the Department of Public Works has told protesters they can have their belongings back. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It looks pretty organized,” Standen reports. “There’s a big stack of books, bags of food, chairs. There’s a communications system the protesters have set up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One protester she talked to said he had been at Occupy LA for two weeks and was in town now to help set up a movement here. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are two female protesters, 91 and 81 years old, speaking about the protest.

Here’s his statement, posted on \u003ca href=\"http://sfist.com/2011/10/06/john_avalos_releases_statement_on_o.php\">SFist\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Last night I gathered in solidarity with the protesters Occupying San Francisco. Like many people all over the country, I have been watching this protest gather strength and grow as more and more of us, more of the 99% demand accountability from the corporations and people who are responsible for the destruction of our economy and devastation of our families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I came to down to observe the protest last night in response to summons from protesters and a notice from the police accusing their encampment of a number of minor infractions, ranging from open flames on a city street or sidewalk to serving food without a permit. I observed and negotiated with police in good faith to keep the peace and allow the encampment to remain, only to hear of a crackdown shortly after I left.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is not the San Francisco that I know. This is not the San Francisco I love. This City has served as a sanctuary for free speech and assembly for generations, and we must protect that legacy. With our unemployment rate nearing 10%, we have a responsibility to be a sanctuary for the 99%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, last night we witnessed that 99% being detained, arrested, and intimidated with force.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My vision is of a true sanctuary city – one that protects our right to free speech and assembly, and one that holds real criminals accountable. This should be a city for the rest of us – for the 99%. I stand with Occupy SF.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Update 2:50 p.m.\u003c/em> Not to be outdone, Ed Lee has released a statement:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>I understand and sympathize with the anxiety and frustration felt by so many in our country caused by a lingering recession and joblessness. That’s why I am doing everything I can to create jobs, get people back to work and make our families stronger here in San Francisco. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I support the spirit of the Occupy Wall Street movement that calls for peacefully assembling to protest and bring national attention to disparity issues in our country. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In San Francisco, protesters are acting within their First Amendment right to free speech and freedom to assemble. While allowing for peaceful protests, we also must ensure that our streets and sidewalks remain safe and accessible for everyone. I will continue to work closely with our Police Chief to ensure San Francisco responds appropriately to these demonstrations. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco is a city that embraces free speech and freedom to assemble like no other city.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The Federal Reserve sent out an email today to all employees who work in the Federal Reserve building, the center of the protests. An employee of one of the tenants in that building forwarded us the email:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>As you are aware, Occupy SF protesters had built an encampment on the public sidewalk outside the Bank’s property along Main, Market and Spear streets. Overnight, the City of San Francisco Police and Public Works departments requested that the protesters dismantle and remove their structures from the public sidewalk and they complied. We understand that the SFPD told the protesters that they could continue to protest on the public sidewalk daily as they wish, but without the encampment. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While we were informed by the San Francisco Police Department of their plans, Bank management deferred to the City’s judgment and knowledge in handling these situations, as we rely on the expertise of the Police in terms of what is legally permitted with respect to such gatherings. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Employee safety is our biggest concern and we will continue to carefully monitor future protests to ensure your safety as well as the integrity of our property and our building. We will continue to keep you informed as the situation warrants, and encourage you to use the back entrance when entering and leaving the building. \u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>So, what’s the protesting about? Here’s \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occupy_Wall_Street#Background\">Wikipedia’s take\u003c/a>: \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Perceptions vary as to the specific goals of the movement. According to Adbusters, a primary protest organizer, the central demand of the protest is that President Obama “ordain a Presidential Commission tasked with ending the influence money has over our representatives in Washington”.Liberal commentator Michael Moore had suggested that this is not like any other protest but this protest represents a variety of demands with a common statement about government corruption and the excessive influence of big business and the wealthiest 1 percent of Americans on U.S. laws and policies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Peripheral demands such as raising taxes on the rich, raising taxes on corporations, ending corporate welfare, support for trade unionism, and protecting Medicare and Social Security in their traditional forms are expressed by some participants. Occupy Maine is asking for an investment in public transportation infrastructure and the return home of Maine National Guardsmen from wars overseas. Some protesters are calling for an audit or the elimination of the Federal Reserve.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Here is footage of the protest from the \u003ca href=\"http://www.livestream.com/occupyfdsf\">OccupySF LiveStream channel\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center\">\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"480\" height=\"295\" src=\"http://cdn.livestream.com/embed/occupyfdsf?layout=4&color=0xe7e7e7&autoPlay=false&mute=false&iconColorOver=0x888888&iconColor=0x777777&allowchat=true&height=295&width=480\" style=\"border:0\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

After a new police transparency law unsealed scores of internal affairs files, our reporters set out to examine these cases and the shadow world of police discipline. On Our Watch brings listeners into the rooms where officers are questioned and witnesses are interrogated to find out who this system is really protecting. Is it the officers, or the public they've sworn to serve?",
