300 ARRESTED AT OCCUPY OAKLAND: Police arrested 300 people at Occupy Oakland in California Saturday, after demonstrators broke into City Hall and burned a U.S. flag, following a day of protests that saw officers fire tear gas to disperse rock- and bottle-throwing activists. Police continued to stand guard around City Hall to prevent any more protesters from entering the building, while fencing was torn down at a convention center following the most turbulent day since police raided the Occupy Oakland camp last November.
I'm not really sure these people know how to engender support for their gripes. I don't think burning the flag is the way to generate sympathy. To this day, I'm not sure exactly what these people want other than for someone else to pick up the bill.
