24. Thank you for the great report from SF.
So the police were at the Army Base? Isn't that a bit strange?

I'm glad they changed their minds. Looks like someone decided to call it off.

NY Occupiers also had a solidarity march of over one thousand people for Oakland last night. They marched through police barriers and people there said the police were unusually restrained in their reaction compared to the past.

One reporter on RT said that people in the park are preparing all the time for what they think will eventually come, a huge raid on the park.

Another reporter from Oakland said she had been trying to calm down some of the protesters who were angry after the attacks by the police. Then she went to cross the street and a cop car followed her. He positioned his car so close to her the bumper touched her leg. She asked him 'what are you doing', and he mocked her, she said. I guess at that point she understood the mood of the crowd.

Seems the Oakland police were trying to instigate the protesters into becoming violent, even reporters like her.

Anyhow, glad you all didn't have to deal with a raid this time. And thanks again for the report.
