An edited transcript follows the audio.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\n\u003cstrong>Tara Siler\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In any protest movement there’s often antagonism between protesters and police. But in Oakland the relationship seems completely toxic. What are the reasons for that? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Susan Mernit\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think that the Oakland police force has a long history of not dealing well with nonviolent citizens, dating back to the Rough Riders ten years ago. The department has been under federal observation over that. A lot of police officers are not that well-trained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Tara Siler\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You’ve been watching the movement closely; why do you think the city has had such a hard time negotiating with this particular group? And is there any hope that can be changed?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Susan Mernit\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is an octopus without a head. There are so many tentacles and so many splinter groups that it’s really hard to find who the person is to negotiate with. And while the general assembly is judged to be the governing body, many, many people in occupy are operating without ever going to a general assembly. Finding the right person who can bring consensus between Occupy and Oakland is really challenging for the city. And I think the city really isn’t sure what to ask for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Tara Siler\u003c/strong> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What about the agenda of the movement? Beyond the familiar protests against economic inequality that characterizes the movement across the country, are there other agendas at work in occupy Oakland? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Susan Mernit\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of the people that I know who are from Oakland who have gotten involved with Occupy have a longstanding history as community activists. At this point some of those people have peeled off and I see people who are somewhat younger and newer to Oakland at the core of the movement. I think for a lot of them Oakland is more of an operating theater then that they have an entrenched stake in the city. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Tara Siler\u003c/strong> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Do you think there’s a division in the movement over the issue of violence?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Susan Mernit\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s an intense division. There were several efforts to pass a nonviolent resolution at the general assembly and they all failed. People now are even more conflicted because episodes of violence are happening without any authorization except by self-entitled groups. Any kind of management of violence just isn’t there. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Tara Siler\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Will the ongoing violence complaints related to the Occupy protest affect the court’s oversight of the OPD?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Susan Mernit\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes. I just read the latest study by the federal monitor, who said he was closely watching the police behavior during Occupy. There’s going to be another report released in April, and I’m expecting that will also condemn the police. They’re not supposed to make any decisions now without checking with the monitor about their plans. The plans they had published and the plans that are commonly followed – not using rubber bullets, not striking people with batons, not using tear gas – at least one of those, using tear gas, the police have acknowledged, and demonstrators have video that makes it look like they may have done the other things as well. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So there seems to be yet again a disconnect between what the written, filed plans were, and what actually happened when police were on the ground confronting demonstrators. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Tara Siler\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How much alienation is there between Occupy and the rest of Oakland now? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Susan Mernit\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s deep, deep alienation. I feel like Oakland is a city that’s being torn apart, because so many people here support the goals of Occupy Wall Street and are concerned about the impact of big banks and foreclosure on Oakland, and they feel like they’re part of the 99%. And yet many people, because of the violence and because of the transient nature of some of the people who have gotten involved in Occupy Oakland, have taken steps to distance themselves from the movement. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And with this latest incident on Saturday, especially the vandalism of city hall, a number of people who who were involved through Saturday have published things on their Facebook page and published essays saying, ‘that’s it, I’m done.’\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Here is one such \u003ca href=\"http://positivepeacewarriornetwork.wordpress.com/2012/01/29/occupy-oakland-a-fitting-name/\">condemnatory essay\u003c/a> making the rounds on Facebook by a former Occupy Oakland member, who says:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>What happened in the streets of Oakland yesterday and into last night was stupid, and I no longer want to have my name associated with a “movement” that is so driven by anger at the expense of strategy…and speaks against many of my core values and principles.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Meanwhile, the battered image of the Oakland Police Department took yet another hit after multiple uses of tear-gas and the \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2012/01/30/media-caught-up-in-occupy-oakland-arrests-newspaper-guild-complains/\">arrest and detention of a handful of local journalists\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yesterday, KQED’s Tara Siler spoke with Susan Mernit, editor and publisher of KQED News Associate \u003ca href=\"http://oaklandlocal.com/\">\u003cstrong>Oakland Local\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>, to try to get a handle on why the Occupy situation has degenerated into this state of low-level internecine warfare, and where the movement stands now in terms of its place in the community. An edited transcript follows the audio.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\n\u003cstrong>Tara Siler\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In any protest movement there’s often antagonism between protesters and police. But in Oakland the relationship seems completely toxic. What are the reasons for that? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Susan Mernit\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think that the Oakland police force has a long history of not dealing well with nonviolent citizens, dating back to the Rough Riders ten years ago. The department has been under federal observation over that. A lot of police officers are not that well-trained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Tara Siler\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You’ve been watching the movement closely; why do you think the city has had such a hard time negotiating with this particular group? And is there any hope that can be changed?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Susan Mernit\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is an octopus without a head. There are so many tentacles and so many splinter groups that it’s really hard to find who the person is to negotiate with. And while the general assembly is judged to be the governing body, many, many people in occupy are operating without ever going to a general assembly. Finding the right person who can bring consensus between Occupy and Oakland is really challenging for the city. And I think the city really isn’t sure what to ask for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Tara Siler\u003c/strong> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What about the agenda of the movement? Beyond the familiar protests against economic inequality that characterizes the movement across the country, are there other agendas at work in occupy Oakland? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Susan Mernit\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of the people that I know who are from Oakland who have gotten involved with Occupy have a longstanding history as community activists. At this point some of those people have peeled off and I see people who are somewhat younger and newer to Oakland at the core of the movement. I think for a lot of them Oakland is more of an operating theater then that they have an entrenched stake in the city. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Tara Siler\u003c/strong> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Do you think there’s a division in the movement over the issue of violence?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Susan Mernit\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s an intense division. There were several efforts to pass a nonviolent resolution at the general assembly and they all failed. People now are even more conflicted because episodes of violence are happening without any authorization except by self-entitled groups. Any kind of management of violence just isn’t there. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Tara Siler\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Will the ongoing violence complaints related to the Occupy protest affect the court’s oversight of the OPD?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Susan Mernit\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes. I just read the latest study by the federal monitor, who said he was closely watching the police behavior during Occupy. There’s going to be another report released in April, and I’m expecting that will also condemn the police. They’re not supposed to make any decisions now without checking with the monitor about their plans. The plans they had published and the plans that are commonly followed – not using rubber bullets, not striking people with batons, not using tear gas – at least one of those, using tear gas, the police have acknowledged, and demonstrators have video that makes it look like they may have done the other things as well. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So there seems to be yet again a disconnect between what the written, filed plans were, and what actually happened when police were on the ground confronting demonstrators. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Tara Siler\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How much alienation is there between Occupy and the rest of Oakland now? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Susan Mernit\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s deep, deep alienation. I feel like Oakland is a city that’s being torn apart, because so many people here support the goals of Occupy Wall Street and are concerned about the impact of big banks and foreclosure on Oakland, and they feel like they’re part of the 99%. And yet many people, because of the violence and because of the transient nature of some of the people who have gotten involved in Occupy Oakland, have taken steps to distance themselves from the movement. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And with this latest incident on Saturday, especially the vandalism of city hall, a number of people who who were involved through Saturday have published things on their Facebook page and published essays saying, ‘that’s it, I’m done.’\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Here is one such \u003ca href=\"http://positivepeacewarriornetwork.wordpress.com/2012/01/29/occupy-oakland-a-fitting-name/\">condemnatory essay\u003c/a> making the rounds on Facebook by a former Occupy Oakland member, who says:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>What happened in the streets of Oakland yesterday and into last night was stupid, and I no longer want to have my name associated with a “movement” that is so driven by anger at the expense of strategy…and speaks against many of my core values and principles.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

In past protests, the technique always proved successful. But this time, no officer said a word. One pointed back in the direction of the protesters, refusing to let me leave. Another issued a notice that everyone in the area was under arrest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I wound up in a back corner of the space between the YMCA and a neighboring building, where I met Vivian Ho of the San Francisco Chronicle and Kristin Hanes of KGO Radio. After it became clear that we would probably have to wait for hours there as police arrested hundreds of people packed tightly in front of us, we maneuvered our way to the front of the kettle to display our press credentials once more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Hanes displayed hers, an officer shook his head. \"That's not an Oakland pass,\" he told her. \"You're getting arrested.\" (She had a press pass issued by San Francisco, but not Oakland, police.) Another officer rejected my credentials, and I began interviewing soon-to-be-arrested protesters standing nearby. About five minutes later, an officer grabbed my arm and zip-tied me. Around the same time, Ho was also apprehended.*\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As I waited in line to be processed and transported to jail, Ho approached me with an officer who had released her from custody. The two explained to my arresting officer that I was with the media. \"Oh, he's with the media?\" the officer replied, although I had already repeatedly told him as much and my credentials had been plainly visible all night. He appeared ready to release me, until a nearby officer piped in, without explanation: \"He's getting arrested.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later, before I was loaded on a police bus with 48 protesters, another officer told a protester in front of me that he should have left after police issued dispersal orders. When I told the officer that I had attempted to do just that, he asked, \"How long have you been out here today?\" \"Since about 1:30.\" Flashing a smile and telling me that he didn't care I was a reporter, he replied, \"We've been issuing dispersal orders all day.\" Kettled protesters claimed that no orders were issued until they had no means of escape, but in either case the orders were difficult to hear over the commotion of the crowd. \u003ca href=\"http://motherjones.com/mojo/2012/01/journalists-arrested-occupy-oakland\">Read the full article here\u003cbr>\n\u003c/a>\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Aronsen spent about an hour in jail before a call to police from his editor prompted his release. \"You probably shouldn't have been in here to begin with,\" he reports an OPD sergeant telling him. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Susie Cagle, who was \u003ca href=\"http://www.thisiswhatconcernsme.com/2011/11/04/occupy-county-jail/\">arrested and detained for 15 hours\u003c/a> during the Occupy Oakland general strike in early November, but managed to avoid jail this time, posts this exchange with OPD spokesperson Johnna Watson about Saturday's encounters between the media and police:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Hi Johnna, Please give me a call when you can — I have several questions for the OPD regarding yesterday’s Occupy actions, including handling of the press.

They included representatives of the San Francisco Chronicle, KGO radio news, East Bay Express, Mother Jones magazine and the SF Bay Guardian.

In past protests, the technique always proved successful. But this time, no officer said a word. One pointed back in the direction of the protesters, refusing to let me leave. Another issued a notice that everyone in the area was under arrest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I wound up in a back corner of the space between the YMCA and a neighboring building, where I met Vivian Ho of the San Francisco Chronicle and Kristin Hanes of KGO Radio. After it became clear that we would probably have to wait for hours there as police arrested hundreds of people packed tightly in front of us, we maneuvered our way to the front of the kettle to display our press credentials once more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Hanes displayed hers, an officer shook his head. \"That's not an Oakland pass,\" he told her. \"You're getting arrested.\" (She had a press pass issued by San Francisco, but not Oakland, police.) Another officer rejected my credentials, and I began interviewing soon-to-be-arrested protesters standing nearby. About five minutes later, an officer grabbed my arm and zip-tied me. Around the same time, Ho was also apprehended.*\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As I waited in line to be processed and transported to jail, Ho approached me with an officer who had released her from custody. The two explained to my arresting officer that I was with the media. \"Oh, he's with the media?\" the officer replied, although I had already repeatedly told him as much and my credentials had been plainly visible all night. He appeared ready to release me, until a nearby officer piped in, without explanation: \"He's getting arrested.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later, before I was loaded on a police bus with 48 protesters, another officer told a protester in front of me that he should have left after police issued dispersal orders. When I told the officer that I had attempted to do just that, he asked, \"How long have you been out here today?\" \"Since about 1:30.\" Flashing a smile and telling me that he didn't care I was a reporter, he replied, \"We've been issuing dispersal orders all day.\" Kettled protesters claimed that no orders were issued until they had no means of escape, but in either case the orders were difficult to hear over the commotion of the crowd. \u003ca href=\"http://motherjones.com/mojo/2012/01/journalists-arrested-occupy-oakland\">Read the full article here\u003cbr>\n\u003c/a>\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Aronsen spent about an hour in jail before a call to police from his editor prompted his release. \"You probably shouldn't have been in here to begin with,\" he reports an OPD sergeant telling him. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

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>.

With Oakland’s police department facing a possible federal takeover, its crowd-control tactics are already front and center. And Occupy Oakland’s public image is also at stake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Sunday, when members of Occupy Oakland gathered in the amphitheatre to discuss the protest, most expressed praise for demonstrators’ fearlessness and resiliency in refusing to go home after being tear-gassed numerous times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The world was paying attention,” said Caitlin Manning. “(They’ve) seen Occupy Oakland again. People know that we haven’t just disappeared, because we lost our camp.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Others, however, were concerned that actions like breaking into City Hall and destroying property will be used to discredit the movement. Osha Neumann, who works at a free legal clinic for low-income people, said protesters’ actions could be alienating the many of the 99% who were more sympathetic to Occupy weeks or months ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“To rage in the streets and fight the police, and feel the thrill of that, of fighting back, of eliminating fear, it’s an enormously important part of the movement,” said Neumann. “But I also have to say that when I saw Jean Quan giving her press conference, she seemed thrilled, I’ve never seen her so happy. It was almost like, when she was able to say ‘well they destroyed the children’s art exhibit, and they overthrow the old thing, it was like, oh finally, I’ve been legitimized, my approach to this movement.’ That’s a problem for us! It’s a real problem.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sunday morning, Quan gave some members of the media a tour of the damage at city hall. (\u003ca href=\"http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/video/6686168-raw-video-oakland-city-hall-damaged-by-occupy-protesters/\">Watch a video of that here\u003c/a>.) City Administrator Deanna said demonstrators broke an interior window and light fixtures, damaged historic models of city hall and Frank Ogawa Plaza, and broke into a fire sprinkler and elevator operating box. Santana said that City Hall would be open for business as usual on Monday.\u003c/p>\n\n",

With Oakland’s police department facing a possible federal takeover, its crowd-control tactics are already front and center. And Occupy Oakland’s public image is also at stake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Sunday, when members of Occupy Oakland gathered in the amphitheatre to discuss the protest, most expressed praise for demonstrators’ fearlessness and resiliency in refusing to go home after being tear-gassed numerous times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The world was paying attention,” said Caitlin Manning. “(They’ve) seen Occupy Oakland again. People know that we haven’t just disappeared, because we lost our camp.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Others, however, were concerned that actions like breaking into City Hall and destroying property will be used to discredit the movement. Osha Neumann, who works at a free legal clinic for low-income people, said protesters’ actions could be alienating the many of the 99% who were more sympathetic to Occupy weeks or months ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“To rage in the streets and fight the police, and feel the thrill of that, of fighting back, of eliminating fear, it’s an enormously important part of the movement,” said Neumann. “But I also have to say that when I saw Jean Quan giving her press conference, she seemed thrilled, I’ve never seen her so happy. It was almost like, when she was able to say ‘well they destroyed the children’s art exhibit, and they overthrow the old thing, it was like, oh finally, I’ve been legitimized, my approach to this movement.’ That’s a problem for us! It’s a real problem.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sunday morning, Quan gave some members of the media a tour of the damage at city hall. (\u003ca href=\"http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/video/6686168-raw-video-oakland-city-hall-damaged-by-occupy-protesters/\">Watch a video of that here\u003c/a>.) City Administrator Deanna said demonstrators broke an interior window and light fixtures, damaged historic models of city hall and Frank Ogawa Plaza, and broke into a fire sprinkler and elevator operating box. Santana said that City Hall would be open for business as usual on Monday.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
