Police Use Tear Gas at Occupy Oakland

Oakland Mayor Jean Quan said that city officials decided to bring the two-week-long protest to an end because of health and public safety issues. Sure, and the fact that there is a recall petition being circulated had no bearing on that decision.
Critics of the mayor filed a notice yesterday of their intent to try to recall her from office .Things got pretty rough with reports of two police officers being wounded and 80 demonstrators being arrested. Police used tear gas to end the occupation.
