Early Tuesday, the city began ousting protesters who have camped out for two weeks at the Occupy Oakland tent city on Frank H. Ogawa Plaza. Police started assembling around the tent city at 14th Street and Broadway at about 3 a.m.

5:30 a.m. Protesters cleared from plaza, tent city gone

1. I think they're getting read to do that here if they haven't already in the middle of the night.

Yesterday they fenced in the park here trapping the protesters inside.

2. I am dismayed and aghast at this move by the cops. Some DUer

earlier said I was advocating for the mob when I said cops have become 'enemies of the people.' I wonder if that DUer still holds that view. (I think his or her screen name was Sufrommich or something like that.)
