At a press conference Monday, Quan said the relationship between the community and police must change, and Jordan announced a series of reforms aimed at preventing large protests and weekly marches from spinning out of control.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Even before we see the final results of the external reviews, we recognize there is room for improvement,” Jordan said. “We are committed to improving our training, tactics and policies in light of our experiences.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Jordan did not go into much detail, only saying that the department is working to improve coordination with mutual aid agencies. He said every officer will receive crowd management training by the end of the month and that smaller, more agile squads will be used to control crowds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Let’s just say we are looking at ways to better resolve those incidents without using lethal force.

They included representatives of the San Francisco Chronicle, KGO radio news, East Bay Express, Mother Jones magazine and the SF Bay Guardian. Despite repeatedly identifying themselves as members of the media, two were jailed. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some wore official Oakland Police Department press credentials; others wore credentials from the San Francisco Police Department or from their assigning publications, a customary practice among working journalists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although several journalists were released quickly on the scene, others were held for long periods of time, making it impossible for them to do their jobs. Numerous reports from the scene document officers ignoring reporters presenting their press credentials and admonishing them for not following orders to disperse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This despite the OPD's own guidelines, which state, \"Even after a dispersal order has been given, clearly identified media shall be permitted to carry out their professional duties in any area where arrests are being made unless their presence would unduly interfere with the enforcement action.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this fall, many of us individually and collectively contacted the city to ask for a response to reports that plainly credentialed journalists had been detained and in some cases jailed covering Occupy protests. In another incident, police grabbed at a camera belonging to an Oakland Tribune photojournalist, breaking off the flash and throwing it the ground.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Freedom of the press is key to our democracy and must be vigorously defended. Arrests and other police interference with working journalists cannot be tolerated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We therefore request a meeting with city and police department leaders to discuss training, monitoring and other remedies ensure that police no longer detain, harass, or otherwise block journalists from doing their jobs by reporting breaking news in the city of Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you have questions about this request, please let us know.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sincerely,\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bernie Lunzer\u003cbr>\nPresident, The Newspaper Guild-CWA\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Susie Cagle, one of the detained journalists mentioned above, posted \u003ca href=\"http://susie-c.tumblr.com/post/16739064654/some-of-the-choice-audio-from-my-latest-arrest-at\">audio of her encounter with police\u003c/a>.

Thanks.\u003cbr>\n -Susie Cagle\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hi Susie, The Oakland Police Departments Internal Affairs Division is investigating this incident. Therefore I can not discuss your email questions.\u003cbr>\n -Johnna Watson\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://newsguild.org/about\">Newspaper Guild\u003c/a>, which represents 34,000 media workers, is unhappy about this treatment of reporters. Guild president Bernie Lunzer sent this letter today to Oakland Mayor Jean Quan and Police Chief Howard Jordan:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Dear Mayor Quan and Chief Jordan:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We write to object, once again, to unacceptable interference with journalists covering Occupy Oakland and resulting law enforcement actions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Saturday, at least five credentialed journalists were detained and/ or arrested while covering Occupy Oakland protests. They included representatives of the San Francisco Chronicle, KGO radio news, East Bay Express, Mother Jones magazine and the SF Bay Guardian. Despite repeatedly identifying themselves as members of the media, two were jailed. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some wore official Oakland Police Department press credentials; others wore credentials from the San Francisco Police Department or from their assigning publications, a customary practice among working journalists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although several journalists were released quickly on the scene, others were held for long periods of time, making it impossible for them to do their jobs. Numerous reports from the scene document officers ignoring reporters presenting their press credentials and admonishing them for not following orders to disperse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This despite the OPD's own guidelines, which state, \"Even after a dispersal order has been given, clearly identified media shall be permitted to carry out their professional duties in any area where arrests are being made unless their presence would unduly interfere with the enforcement action.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this fall, many of us individually and collectively contacted the city to ask for a response to reports that plainly credentialed journalists had been detained and in some cases jailed covering Occupy protests. In another incident, police grabbed at a camera belonging to an Oakland Tribune photojournalist, breaking off the flash and throwing it the ground.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Freedom of the press is key to our democracy and must be vigorously defended. Arrests and other police interference with working journalists cannot be tolerated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We therefore request a meeting with city and police department leaders to discuss training, monitoring and other remedies ensure that police no longer detain, harass, or otherwise block journalists from doing their jobs by reporting breaking news in the city of Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you have questions about this request, please let us know.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sincerely,\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bernie Lunzer\u003cbr>\nPresident, The Newspaper Guild-CWA\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Susie Cagle, one of the detained journalists mentioned above, posted \u003ca href=\"http://susie-c.tumblr.com/post/16739064654/some-of-the-choice-audio-from-my-latest-arrest-at\">audio of her encounter with police\u003c/a>.

The decision for a general strike was made by the people of Oakland themselves in a grassroots non-hierarchical process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Nov 2 the people of Oakland will strike and show our refusal to continue creating wealth for the 1 %. We also call for a day of action in which the circulation of capital is blockaded, students walk out of their schools, and people stage various occupations of schools, foreclosed homes, workplaces, and self-organize to take back control of our lives from the 1 %. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Occupy Oakland has called for all banks and corporations to close for the day of the general strike or demonstrators will march on them. Demonstrators also plan to blockade the port of Oakland on Nov 2. Occupy Oakland intends to picket or occupy any workplace or school which takes disciplinary action against strikers. \u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another speaker, identified as Boots Riley (yes, \u003cem>that\u003c/em> \u003ca href=\"http://museumca.org/blog/omca-goes-one-one-with-the-coups-boots-riley\">Boots Riley\u003c/a>, Oakland hip hop fans) held up a piece of paper, saying that “I have an inter-office memorandum from City Administrator Deanna Santana in which she says that any workers who choose to take part in the general strike of Oakland will not face disciplinary action from the city.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We left a message with the City Administrator’s office asking for comment but have not heard back. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city’s condoning of participation in the strike by its workers was criticized in an “\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2011/11/01/an-open-letter-to-the-citizens-of-oakland-from-the-oakland-police-officers-association/\">Open Letter to the Citizens of Oakland\u003c/a>” sent by the Oakland Police Officers Association this morning. \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>(T)he 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>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The Occupy Oakland site lists five local unions that have endorsed the strike, including \u003ca href=\"http://seiu1021.org/story/november-2-join-oakland%E2%80%99s-peaceful-day-action\">SEIU Local 1021\u003c/a>, which posted the following on its site:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>To avoid misinterpretation: Occupy Oakland has called for a “general strike,” but SEIU 1021 is not asking any members to “go on strike” — that would be a violation of many SEIU 1021 contracts. 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. It is addressed to Agency Directors/Managers and says that SEIU 1021 requested that…\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp> “…all represented employees be released to either participate in the “Stop Work” action or not be required to come to work for health and safety reasons. Although no other miscellanesous unions have approached me, this directive is applicable to them as well. 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",

The decision for a general strike was made by the people of Oakland themselves in a grassroots non-hierarchical process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Nov 2 the people of Oakland will strike and show our refusal to continue creating wealth for the 1 %. We also call for a day of action in which the circulation of capital is blockaded, students walk out of their schools, and people stage various occupations of schools, foreclosed homes, workplaces, and self-organize to take back control of our lives from the 1 %. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Occupy Oakland has called for all banks and corporations to close for the day of the general strike or demonstrators will march on them. Demonstrators also plan to blockade the port of Oakland on Nov 2. Occupy Oakland intends to picket or occupy any workplace or school which takes disciplinary action against strikers. \u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another speaker, identified as Boots Riley (yes, \u003cem>that\u003c/em> \u003ca href=\"http://museumca.org/blog/omca-goes-one-one-with-the-coups-boots-riley\">Boots Riley\u003c/a>, Oakland hip hop fans) held up a piece of paper, saying that “I have an inter-office memorandum from City Administrator Deanna Santana in which she says that any workers who choose to take part in the general strike of Oakland will not face disciplinary action from the city.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

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>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The Occupy Oakland site lists five local unions that have endorsed the strike, including \u003ca href=\"http://seiu1021.org/story/november-2-join-oakland%E2%80%99s-peaceful-day-action\">SEIU Local 1021\u003c/a>, which posted the following on its site:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>To avoid misinterpretation: Occupy Oakland has called for a “general strike,” but SEIU 1021 is not asking any members to “go on strike” — that would be a violation of many SEIU 1021 contracts. 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. It is addressed to Agency Directors/Managers and says that SEIU 1021 requested that…\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp> “…all represented employees be released to either participate in the “Stop Work” action or not be required to come to work for health and safety reasons. Although no other miscellanesous unions have approached me, this directive is applicable to them as well. 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>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He said the gas balls rolled at people's feet to disperse them may have been mistaken for the grenades. When asked, Jordan said it was possible that other departments had used types of non-lethal force that OPD doesn't have in its arsenal. Quan said a mutual aid agreement requires other agencies to abide by Oakland rules.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Quan, who was out of town on official business in Washington D.C. when the raid occurred, said she had asked the chief \"to do just one thing...to conduct the raid when it was the safest for both the police and the demonstrators.\" She said she was informed by City Administrator Deanna Santana when the raid was in progress and watched it on TV. She said \"it seemed like the [morning raid] had met its goals. It seemed that was done as peacefully as possible...But I'm now hearing that maybe there was one or two incidents. But I don't know. We've asked the police department to investigate, we've asked the Inspector General to do that.

Nearly 11,000 comments have been posted so far -- none of them, at first blush, expressing the sentiment \"nice job.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But disaffection with the mayor is also illustrated in a KPIX poll of 650 Oakland residents taken yesterday (\u003ca href=\"http://www.surveyusa.com/client/PollPrint.aspx?g=4c3a36a6-3dee-4cdf-8dac-61ef65fc466a&d=0\">pdf here)\u003c/a>. Just 20 percent approve of Quan's job performance and 64% disapprove. Fifty-six percent also said the use of force against the protesters was too harsh, with 30 percent saying it was \"just about right.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even before the Occupy affair, Quan's approval rating had tanked. On Oct 12, a day after Anthony Batts resigned as police chief, a KPIX \u003ca href=\"http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2011/10/12/cbs-5-poll-oakland-mayor-sees-approval-drop-after-police-chief-quits/\">poll measured her approval at 28 percent and disapproval at 53 percent\u003c/a>. That's a huge turn-around from May, when the mayor enjoyed a 57 percent approval rating. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Quan is under attack from both those angry with the OPD's use of force against the protesters, and also from those who think she's soft on public safety. Gene Hazzard, who is a member of the Oakland Black Caucus but \u003ca href=\"http://www.eastbayexpress.com/92510/archives/2011/10/25/oakland-black-caucus-distances-itself-from-quan-recall\">not acting on behalf of the organization\u003c/a>, has filed \u003ca href=\"http://www.insidebayarea.com/top-stories/ci_19185935?source=pkg\">71 signatures with the city\u003c/a> as a precursor to a recall campaign. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The people of Oakland seek to recall Mayor Quan because she has willfully ignored the City’s most pressing issue: public safety,\" reads the petition. \"She ignored the call of Oakland residents to significantly increase the number of police officers and instead supported a regressive $11 million parcel tax.\" Quan opponents have \"160 days (from that filing) to collect almost 20,000 signatures from registered Oakland voters in support of a recall,\" according to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.insidebayarea.com/top-stories/ci_19184227\">Oakland Tribune\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And if all that weren't bad enough for Quan, Keith Olbermann, an icon for many liberals, slammed her in this \u003ca href=\"http://current.com/shows/countdown/videos/keiths-special-comment-oakland-mayor-jean-quan-must-repent-or-resign\">commentary\u003c/a>, calling on her to fire Interim Chief Howard Jordan or resign. \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center\">\u003cobject id=\"flashObj\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" classid=\"D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,47,0\">\u003cparam name=\"movie\" value=\"http://c.brightcove.com/services/viewer/federated_f9?isVid=1&isUI=1\">\u003cparam name=\"bgcolor\" value=\"#FFFFFF\">\u003cparam name=\"flashVars\" value=\"videoId=1242579290001&linkBaseURL=http%3A%2F%2Fcurrent.com%2Fshows%2Fcountdown%2Fvideos%2Fkeiths-special-comment-oakland-mayor-jean-quan-must-repent-or-resign&playerID=1040141195001&playerKey=AQ~~,AAAA3B3xrZk~,HJshEnrCBsRvDMbCheku3Pjss6-I6ruG&domain=embed&dynamicStreaming=true\">\u003cparam name=\"base\" value=\"http://admin.brightcove.com\">\u003cparam name=\"seamlesstabbing\" value=\"false\">\u003cparam name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\">\u003cparam name=\"swLiveConnect\" value=\"true\">\u003cparam name=\"allowScriptAccess\" value=\"always\">\u003cembed src=\"http://c.brightcove.com/services/viewer/federated_f9?isVid=1&isUI=1\" bgcolor=\"#FFFFFF\" flashvars=\"videoId=1242579290001&linkBaseURL=http%3A%2F%2Fcurrent.com%2Fshows%2Fcountdown%2Fvideos%2Fkeiths-special-comment-oakland-mayor-jean-quan-must-repent-or-resign&playerID=1040141195001&playerKey=AQ~~,AAAA3B3xrZk~,HJshEnrCBsRvDMbCheku3Pjss6-I6ruG&domain=embed&dynamicStreaming=true\" base=\"http://admin.brightcove.com\" name=\"flashObj\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" pluginspage=\"http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash\">\u003c/embed>\u003c/object>\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\n",
