"Mayor Quan received widespread national criticism in October 2011 for her handling of the Occupy Oakland protest.[38] On October 11, Mayor Quan visited the protest site.[39] Thirteen days later more than 500 police officers from Oakland, other area police departments, and the State of California were directed to use tear gas and batons to clear the plaza where the protests were being held. Mayor Quan was in Washington, D.C. at the time on city business.[40] Quan issued a statement the next morning commending the police chief "for a generally peaceful resolution to a situation".[41] That night, hundreds of police used tear gas, rubber bullets, and flashbang grenades to subdue and arrest over 100 protesters, though denied the use of rubber bullets and flashbang grenades during the press release. The mayor's office was flooded with demands that protesters be released[42] and her legal adviser opposed the police action and threatened to resign.[43]
One protester, war veteran Scott Olsen, was hospitalized with a fractured skull after being struck in the forehead by police projectiles.[44] On November 2, a second protester-veteran, Kayvan Sabehgi, suffered a ruptured spleen when he was allegedly hit and tackled by Oakland Police in an area away from the protests' center.[45] By November 14, two of Mayor Quan's top advisors, legal advisor Dan Siegel and Deputy Mayor Sharon Cornu, had resigned.[46]
Quan was criticized for apparent insensitivity at an Oakland City Council meeting on March 6, 2013. In a conversation with war veteran Scott Olsen, she accused him of having a "chip on his shoulder". Later, Olsen tweeted, “J.Quan told me she realizes I have a chip on my shoulder. Insulting, more like a broken skull and brain trauma."

and guess who spent some quality time with B of A and Goldman Sachs?
