It's getting interestinger and interestinger ..... still.

From both Business Insider and Zero Hedge which is fascinating in and of itself.

The following video shows Oakland police deliberately firing teargas cannisters and/or flash grenades into a crowd of people seeking to help a seriously injured protester.

The following quote comes from a timeline published by the Oakland Tribune via Mercury Press.

6:25 a.m. 'Stupid people who were provoking the cops'

Michael Porter, 24, works full time selling DirectTV, has camped at the Occupy Oakland site for the last 8 days.

He was disheartened to see everyone disperse last night-- down to 30 people after 3 a.m.

"We lost a lot of them because of the tear gas. And it was because of stupid people who were provoking the cops. It's random people who see a big group and are like, 'let's start a riot.'

All it takes is one thing and it's like let's gas everyone.

And I kind of understand where the cops are coming from as far as responding to signs of aggression. That's why we've got to keep those people out."

He's hanging around hoping to educate newcomers this morning about not provoking the police. Then he's going to sleep in his own bed for the first time in a week and then, he says, come back down.

Why? "I've always been told to be the change you want to see; I want to see more people come out"

Up to a dozen protesters, all men right now.

A plate window across the street shattered around what looks like a rubber bullet hole. Protesters telling police one of them owes someone a new window.

Finally from Colorlines.com, click on the photo for a short and well done piece from Robert Levato concerning recent issues with Oakland's police department and the resultant election of Oakland's first Asian mayor and her subsequently appointed Black police chief.

It seems post racial America has truly arrived.
