No Signs Yet of Occupy Oakland Crackdown (VIDEO)

Oakland city administrators say they have not reached an official decision about when they will order police to remove the Occupy Oakland tent city in front of city hall despite an earlier order evicting the protesters.

In San Jose, police did move in Friday morning to clear protesters from in front of city hall. Five people were arrested for illegal camping, two for unauthorized use of the plaza after 11pm, and one for felony vandalism in the alleged scratching a police vehicle.

Despite the crackdowns, the protests show few signs of abating. A new AP poll finds about a third of Americans say they support the goals of the Occupy protesters around the country.


**Opinion**


With all of the other serious crime to be concerned with, should this really be a priority for the OPD!?! I think not. On top of that, it was only a couple of days ago that Mayor Quan stated that, "protesters have been cooperative when officials have asked them to deal with complaints from nearby residents and business owners.

Right now, Oakland has no plans to remove the Occupy camp from the plaza."
Hmm, what a flip-flop in a matter of days.
