Well it looks like it just got real in #occupyoakland.

Anyways, It's hard to find a balanced synopsis of what actually happened in Oakland. On the one hand you have many eye witness reports of people not knowing what was going on and waking up to a smoke grenades and 200 riot gear cops. But on the other hand you have the mayors office claiming that there was fair warning about the eviction. Hard to find some decent information as there is a lot of clutter out there from both first hand accounts and press releases. Most of the eye witness video seams to be a bit excessive use of force on the Oakland PD. Not much context to make a fair assessment.
Either way it's interesting, because it was inevitable that this would escalate in some location. Especially with the reports of an explosive attack at the
portland version of occupy on monday evening.
