You weren't really watching the video were you?

1) Your video showing the whole thing, started with the guy on the ground, again NOT THE WHOLE THING.  The "Whole thing" started with protestors lighting things on fire

Kas, that's just normal ritual in Oakland ;) Oakland is like 2 notches above Detroit.

It is interesting I was able to find footage after the Super Bowl riots where the mob set cars on fire.  Raze, if you can find any videos of Occupy Oakland setting fire to anything, please post it.  I found not.  What I did see, as far as the events go, is this:

* Protesters stay in park, order to leave.

* Protesters don't leave and police forcefully evict them.

* Protesters regroup and march.  Somewhere along the line, tear gas was used and the group was order to disperse.

If there were any rocks or M80s throw, which no video has appeared yet to happen, it happened somewhere in here, likely after the going into the mark to forcefully evict. There is video evidence paint was possibly thrown.  But someone find video of rocks being thrown.  If the said rocks were thrown while on the street, it will be interesting to find out what Oakland streets readily have rocks on them.

Anyhow, it looks like the mayor has been concerned and now has extended offers for them to return.  Mixed messages whether they can stay in the park or not.
