While the Oakland Police Department takes your comments and concerns very seriously, please understand that the volume of these correspondences far exceeds our ability to respond to each one individually.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\n\u003cp>Under the circumstances of this event our officers used what they believed to be the least amount of force possible to protect themselves and gain control of the situation.\u003c/p>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Not unlike you, I am concerned about the injuries to protesters and officers alike; the decision to use any level of force is never taken lightly, and certainly was not in this situation. As a community, we must preserve our position that any act of assault against officers or each other in our community is unacceptable, and will not be tolerated. Under the circumstances of this event our officers used what they believed to be the least amount of force possible to protect themselves and gain control of the situation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During incidents of this magnitude, police training, tactics and policy is scrutinized, and as the Chief of Police I take full responsibility for the actions of my officers. With that, I want to ensure you that all allegations of misconduct and excessive uses of force are being thoroughly investigated by internal and external investigative sources. I am confident in our abilities to conduct thorough and fair investigations into the actions of police personnel during the Occupy events.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to hearing the voice of the community I, along with other City staff, have taken steps to reach out to members of the Occupy Oakland group, business owners, and community members to discuss the issues surrounding public health, public safety, and freedom of speech. It is very important that we work together to establish a healthy and peaceful environment that cultivates the facilitation of free speech and peaceful demonstrations which is, and always has been our primary goal.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\n\u003cp>I want to ensure you that all allegations of misconduct and excessive uses of force are being thoroughly investigated...\u003c/p>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>As Chief of the Oakland Police Department, I will continue to be open to the diverse opinions and points of view offered by the community at large, and I appreciate your willingness to be open and honest, as I will be open and honest with all of you. The City of Oakland Police Department will continue to place the highest value on policing in a manner that is both constitutional and ethical in its mission to provide a safe place to live, work, and play, free of crime and the fear of crime.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thank you and stay safe,\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chief Howard Jordan\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

I will go to Oakland tomorrow afternoon to stand with Occupy Oakland against the out-of-control police.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Daily Kos piece, called “Life Among the 1 %, describes how Moore decided to handle his newfound wealth back in 1989. Here’s an excerpt in which he reconciles his financial standing with his politics:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>I do very well — and for a documentary filmmaker, I do extremely well. That, too, drives conservatives bonkers. “You’re rich because of capitalism!” they scream at me. Um, no. Didn’t you take Econ 101? Capitalism is a system, a pyramid scheme of sorts, that exploits the vast majority so that the few at the top can enrich themselves more. I make my money the old school, honest way by making things. Some years I earn a boatload of cash. Other years, like last year, I don’t have a job (no movie, no book) and so I make a lot less. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“How can you claim to be for the poor when you are the opposite of poor?!” It’s like asking: “You’ve never had sex with another man — how can you be for gay marriage?!” I guess the same way that an all-male Congress voted to give women the vote, or scores of white people marched with Martin Luther Ling, Jr. (I can hear these righties yelling back through history: “Hey! You’re not black! You’re not being lynched! Why are you with the blacks?!”). \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is precisely this disconnect that prevents Republicans from understanding why anyone would give of their time or money to help out those less fortunate. It is simply something their brain cannot process. “Kanye West makes millions! What’s he doing at Occupy Wall Street?!” Exactly — he’s down there demanding that his taxes be raised. That, to a right-winger, is the definition of insanity. To everyone else, we are grateful that people like him stand up, even if and especially because it is against his own personal financial interest. It is specifically what that Bible those conservatives wave around demands of those who are well off.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s \u003ca href=\"http://cnn.com/video/?/video/bestoftv/2011/10/25/piers-moore-one-percent.cnn\">Moore getting into it over the subject of his wealth with Piers Morgan on CNN\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\n",

I will go to Oakland tomorrow afternoon to stand with Occupy Oakland against the out-of-control police.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Daily Kos piece, called “Life Among the 1 %, describes how Moore decided to handle his newfound wealth back in 1989. Here’s an excerpt in which he reconciles his financial standing with his politics:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>I do very well — and for a documentary filmmaker, I do extremely well. That, too, drives conservatives bonkers. “You’re rich because of capitalism!” they scream at me. Um, no. Didn’t you take Econ 101? Capitalism is a system, a pyramid scheme of sorts, that exploits the vast majority so that the few at the top can enrich themselves more. I make my money the old school, honest way by making things. Some years I earn a boatload of cash. Other years, like last year, I don’t have a job (no movie, no book) and so I make a lot less. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“How can you claim to be for the poor when you are the opposite of poor?!” It’s like asking: “You’ve never had sex with another man — how can you be for gay marriage?!” I guess the same way that an all-male Congress voted to give women the vote, or scores of white people marched with Martin Luther Ling, Jr. (I can hear these righties yelling back through history: “Hey! You’re not black! You’re not being lynched! Why are you with the blacks?!”). \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is precisely this disconnect that prevents Republicans from understanding why anyone would give of their time or money to help out those less fortunate. It is simply something their brain cannot process. “Kanye West makes millions! What’s he doing at Occupy Wall Street?!” Exactly — he’s down there demanding that his taxes be raised. That, to a right-winger, is the definition of insanity. To everyone else, we are grateful that people like him stand up, even if and especially because it is against his own personal financial interest. It is specifically what that Bible those conservatives wave around demands of those who are well off.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s \u003ca href=\"http://cnn.com/video/?/video/bestoftv/2011/10/25/piers-moore-one-percent.cnn\">Moore getting into it over the subject of his wealth with Piers Morgan on CNN\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

KTVU has \u003ca href=\"http://www.ktvu.com/video/29598382/index.html\">\u003cstrong>raw video\u003c/strong>\u003c/a> of a portion of the press conference.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the briefing, Jordan said that to his knowledge, no Oakland police officer used rubber bullets, wooden dowels, or flash-bang grenades. 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. I'm very likely going to ask, when this is all over, the community policing review board to take this on as an issue...so we can learn from this and change any mistakes that were made.\" \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yesterday news emerged that an \u003ca href=\"http://www.insidebayarea.com/oakland/ci_19203318\">Iraq War vet had sustained a skull fracture\u003c/a> during a series of clashes between police and protesters Tuesday night. Scott Olsen is recuperating at Highland Hospital in Oakland after his \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2011/10/27/BAD61LN3LM.DTL\">condition was upgraded from critical to fair\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Quan is taking a huge hit -- at least on her \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/MayorJeanQuan?sk=wall&filter=1\">Facebook page\u003c/a>. 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.

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.

Said Keith Shannon, who deployed with Scott to Iraq, “Scott was marching with the 99% because he felt corporations and banks had too much control over our government, and that they weren’t being held accountable for their role in the economic downturn, which caused so many people to lose their jobs and their homes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scott is currently sedated at a local hospital awaiting examination by a neurosurgeon.

I woke up purely by chance in the middle of the night and checked my Twitter feed and saw a lot of noise about an imminent police raid. I walked down to Ogawa plaza. It was really quiet, there were a lot of press set up and the protesters were making a makeshift barricade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was really quiet till right around 4:30 a.m. and in an instant a swarm of police cars came into the area, hundreds of them. They were in full riot gear, had batons, shotguns, and they all assembled very quickly and made their way to the camp. I tried to take a few pictures and was forcefully pushed back by one of them. It was made clear to me that if I got close to their line I was going to be arrested.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They formed a bunch of concentric circles of police and started moving in on the camp grounds. There were probably five or six lines of police, literally hundreds of police, and helicopters circling the area with a spotlight shining down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then officers started putting on gas masks and they said several times they were going to be moving in on the camp and that they would be dispersing — I think they said — chemical agents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I would say between the time they gave the warning that they would be moving in and that people would need to vacate and the time that they actually set off the flash grenade and tear gas was actually just a matter of minutes, maybe three or four minutes.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>2:50 p.m.\u003c/em> From the Bay City News Datebook:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Organizers of “Occupy Oakland” said protesters will reconvene this afternoon in the wake of a police raid that broke up their encampment in Frank Ogawa Plaza early this morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The group will gather at 4 p.m. at 14th and Madison streets.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_44257\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 311px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/10/tentcitySM.jpg\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-44257\" title=\"tentcitySM\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/10/tentcitySM.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"311\" height=\"232\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tents were abandoned after police cleared the Occupy Oakland encampment (Photo: Caitlin Esch)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>1:11 p.m.\u003c/em> The city has started to clean Frank Ogawa Plaza, KQED’s Caitlin Esch reports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>12:56 p.m.\u003c/em> Some \u003ca href=\"http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2011/10/25/18694945.php\">photos of cops taking video\u003c/a>, which IndyBay didn’t take kindly to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>12:27 p.m.\u003c/em> The Daily Cal \u003ca href=\"http://www.dailycal.org/2011/10/25/city-manager-orders-occupy-berkeley-protesters-to-stop-camping-overnight-at-park/\">reports\u003c/a> the office of Berkeley’s City Manager has ordered Occupy Berkeley protesters to cease camping overnight at Martin Luther King, Jr. Civic Center Park.
