7. I didn't see "an attempt to address the crowd" on that video. Is there another film?

If she did try to address Occupy, that would take some guts, and I would commend her. In this video, however, all she does is walk through the door into the Municipal Bldg while people shout at her.

"Later, Quan visited the plaza, but was booed upon arrival, and was mobbed by protesters chanting "go home," calling her a killer and screaming for her to step down. KTVU captured raw footage the protesters mobbing her as she arrived. (Click here for footage.)"

Municpal Bldg was not her destination. It was her escape route.

10. MAYBE she shouldn't have written that bit about

the "innocence" of the cops, how they were just trying to clear the square "for health concerns" etc etc
