"I believe the presence of armed Americans legally carrying will prevent an Oakland type event. In Oakland, the cops actively attacked people who were helping a person who had fallen, and a woman in a wheelchair."

and

"You seem to think firearms = armed confrontation. "

Well yes, when the police come to forcibly evict the armed demonstrators what you will then have is an armed confrontation. Firearms by themselves are of course not "an armed confrontation". That requires humans to be carrying those weapons in a confrontational situation. Firearms deployed by demonstrators in Oakland prior to the eviction would have resulted in exactly that: an armed confrontation. That would have been the worst possible thing this movement could have done.
