1. Notes: 15 / 3 months ago 

   Aerial video of Saturday evening when the Occupy Oakland march was kettled in a public park by the Oakland Police, ordered to disperse, and then not allowed to do so.  Anarchists knocked down a cyclone fence to allow the trapped civilians to escape.

   1. A march was stopped at Telegraph Ave and William St.
   2. All park exists were blocked off
   3. The crowed was ordered to leave without being allowed any exit
   4. Gas / Chemicals, projectiles, batons, and explosives were used on the public
   
   I was not sure during the filming, but gas was definitely used on this residential area. I definitely felt sick later as the gas reached my apartment.
   Protesters did not destroy any personal property. Building windows and cars remained untouched (in this area at least).
   
   I have no doubt that the number of marchers will increase next time. This group started with camping - The city’s responses seem to be slowly turning them into some kind of militia.
