Coming To A City Near You - Police Evict Occupy Okland

The police cleared Occupy Oakland using flash grenades, tear gas, and beanbag rounds.



The National Post reports:

Police and protesters scuffled in the streets of Oakland on Tuesday as more than 1,000 people marched on city hall to voice anger over scores of arrests at an “Occupy Wall Street” camp.


Police dispersed the crowd once with what appeared to be a stun grenade and several other times set off tear gas to drive the demonstrators away from a downtown plaza that had been at the center of the conflict.


Witnesses reported seeing several people taken into custody during the confrontations, but an Oakland police spokeswoman said the department would not confirm any Tuesday night arrests until Wednesday.

Bean bag rounds are cool. Basically they load a shotgun with a beanbag and it hurts like hell but isn't lethal.


How long before the police clear out the other Occupy sites? It's just a mater of time.
