Permalink Hundreds arrested in police crackdown on Oakland protests

Hundreds of police clad in riot gear and wielding a variety of weapons attacked a procession of protestors in Oakland, California, on Saturday. It was the largest altercation between police and protestors in Oakland since the October 25 confrontation that left several wounded, including Iraq War veteran Scott Olsen. - In order to contain the crowd of between 1,000 and 2,000 protestors, the City of Oakland mobilized police and sheriff departments across the San Francisco Bay Area. More than 400 protestors were arrested over the course of the evening, with marches continuing late into the night. Police used rubber bullets, flash bangs, smoke grenades, bean bag guns, batons, and tear gas to suppress the demonstration. Images of children wearing tear-gas masks surfaced in the wake of the demonstrations, and one women was reportedly shot in the back from point-blank range by a police officer. (Video here).
