• Oakland assesses City Hall damage after Occupy break-in

  Sat Jan 28, 2012
  • I'm shocked the way the 2012 Police Departments have fallen in line with the Anti Occupy Movement Corporate/Political Class. It seems they have gone back to their "Pig", "Blue Meany" 1960s mentality in many respects. I guess I am naive to think things really changed all that much.
