Oakland trashed: body hanging from structure

  One to 2 thousand people swarmed Oakland yesterday; 400 were arrested.
  Cries of police brutality are again heard in Oakland, where the biggest mistake by administrators is that they have been far far too tolerant of the Occupiers.
  In fact, the Occupiers destroyed equipment, invaded buildings, sprayed graffiti, smashed glass, burned the flag and generally caused thousands of dollars of damage.
  Mayor Jean Quan, who joined the protests at one point and even gave city employees the day off to join the protest, is now frustrated. Apparently the Occupiers have gone too far and she's unnerved.
Saturday's protests — the most turbulent since Oakland police forcefully dismantled an Occupy encampment in November — came just days after the group said it planned to use a vacant building as a social center and political hub and threatened to try to shut down the Port of Oakland for a third time, occupy the airport and take over City Hall. 
Quan, who faced heavy criticism for the police action last fall, on Saturday called on the Occupy movement to "stop using Oakland as its playground."
  Today a body was found hanging from a structure at Fallujah the Port of Oakland, which has been a point of contention because of its symbolic entrance to the capitalism of this country.
  Previously the Occupiers had marched on the port, attempting to stop all commerce.
  Here's video of the burning of the flag, complaints about "da Joos" and the demand for "equality" for the "99."
