occupy oakland uh...
is uh...
getting a writing for a lot of different reasons uh...
if course is the police attack and uh... tear gas they fired at
uh... people uh... including in iraq veteran who wound up having a fractures
colin was in the hospital
uh... they fire operable at st uh... fired bean bags annotate seem like it
was a little out of the blue initially and then other was thought that
general strike that was called and left last week and then there was the jagged
peak
uh... protest march in oakland that shut down the pork
as part of a general strike
uh... we told you about that on the show we were there on the ground we
videotaped the crowns
uh... some press reports or comically saying the crowd was between three ten
thousand background was at least fifty thousand people
it was miles and miles of people eight i was literally have never been innovator
proud of my life and that includes football games had ever had
forty fifty sixty thousand people at that
so uh... eyes wide open obviously is getting a lot of momentum and at after
that day aware there was a general strike
uh... and by the way afterwards and that was all peaceful hundred-percent
peaceful but afterwards some anarchist in oakland which are
greatly opposed by are great majority of the article i wrote the movement
i went into a building in the next one oblique lighting so fires outside in the
cops came in and clean them out that's understandable but then the cops come in
the next day
and scott campbell is a guy was participating in occupy open any saving
them now we're gonna show you the tape
and you're gonna see in the beginning here or you get here
scott campbell saying is this ok because the constant told them to move back a
certain amount of space any had
they'll see it on the tape
and then there's a different guy who's antagonizing the council but you'll hear
him as well
and at the end of summation opting happens watch
it
prob out
this shot up
that michelle aurora below thank god it was a uh... you know analy bullet i
guess bday shodam and that scott campbell he has told the story down just
released this video and uh...
it'd definitely damage
and as you saw the tape no provocation and he was in the guy saying the wall i
dare you do in the center
he was a guy saying okay i'm back in a way is this ok have i got to do it
a rite of space
and they just one of the conscious flat-out shodam
it's unbelievable
i mean it's i guess is awkward
but
that the local i was in that crowd i've talked to
lot of people right
uh... the day before that shooting happened
and their is great antagonism towards the cops
and to the point i have to be honest with you were a made me uncomfortable
solo organizes a like look we're not like a large by movements we're not
interested in cooperating with the cops
we think the cops of the bad guys and i was like while really because that is
doubling up what i've heard of occupied wall street is a county park in
cleveland the cops work together with the occupier movement to defeat uh...
the bill that was perot's weather problems i just happen yesterday right
the cops realized oh my god these are two bad guys can help us with are
collective bargaining
so there's been great cooperation other places in albany because refused to turn
up carry out an order by the mayor the governor to clear out how to drive
albany fully they're not very many laws and we're not gonna listen to but in
oakland is doubly antagonism
but when i saw that video
i begin understand while you guys that i could buy oakland are so antagonistic
toward the cops does stuff like this happens
now look maybe said there's a cycle of the fees on tabor mother and
because still ahead here so antagonistic towards us
and has a real achha we can't
you're the cops you're supposed to protect the peace you're supposed to the
good guys useless protect the citizens you can just randomly shoot them because
you don't like that
so obviously is a terrible outrage
and doesn't make that relationship in oakland any better
and you can see how the stories in oakland
are making the situation much worse and i'd hope it doesn't lead to greater
copley but if it does
it's not just one side causing the violence
clearly you see there the cops are the ones that started in that case
