Not "stating violent intentions". Riiiight! If everyone wore black it would allow the Anarchists among them to blend in... The bubbles; smokescreen - peace propaganda.

Regular readers may recall that there are Anarchists embedded within Occupy Oakland.

Occupy Oakland protested against police harassment by staging a confrontational, inciting march called “F*uck the Police”.

(San Jose Mercury News)–OAKLAND — A clash between police and protesters Saturday night ended with six protesters arrested, windows broken in a Starbucks coffee shop and a handful of police cars, and Occupy Oakland organizers promising more action opposed to police violence.

A flier promoting the march [See below --Ed.] had named the event, “March Against Repression: (Expletive) OPD.” As protesters made their way through downtown Oakland, some allegedly broke police squad car windows as well as those of a Starbucks coffee shop. Watson said the tires of a [KTVU] news van were slashed and that several glass bottles were thrown at police officers.

Protesters were arrested on suspicion of assault on a police officer, resisting arrest and possession of explosives. Police said one person had a device that was the equivalent of a quarter stick of dynamite — not an M-80 firecracker, Watson said, but a 6-inch-long explosive.

“I’d never seen anything like it before,” she said. “That’s not something that’ll blow your thumb off; that’s something that could easily kill you or take a body part off.” [...]

Also from the San Jose Mercury News article:

Protester Diane Reiner, 59, said the “huge majority” of people there were nonviolent — some of them having brought out a bubble machine to blow bubbles signifying their peaceful intent. She said the crowd marched in anger about police actions against Occupy Wall Street camps and events across the country.

Suuuure peaceful, bubbly, rainbow sprinkled passivity, YET the promotional poster and the accompanying press release was just the ticket to incite the more radically inclined among them.

The official press release:

The City of Oakland is a war zone. The politicians, chamber of commerce, large scale property owners and Oakland Police Department daily work together to make our lives a living hell. Between the inflated rents, unemployment and consistent indiscriminate police violence there is not a day where the social forces that surround us do not attack the very foundations of our lives. Recently over the past weeks those who have actively participated in Occupy Oakland have been the targets of the OPD. At the vigil in Oscar Grant Plaza as well as in new occupations across the city, the OPD has coordinated a brutal campaign of repression and intimidation using counterinsurgency tactics such as targeted hit and run snatch squads. This is clearly an attempt to undermine the resurgence of the Oakland Commune in the new year. Dozens have been arrested these past weeks and many of them are still sitting in Santa Rita facing daily harassment and brutality at the hands of the Alameda Sheriffs.

This is a direct assault on comrades trying to change this hell we live in. This is a direct attack on people self organizing to take our city back into our own hands. This is coordinated police activity to destroy the Oakland Commune.

This is war.

This Saturday January 7th a 8pm meet at Oscar Grant Plaza at 14th and Broadway. We will march on the police and show them that we are capable of defending the commune and that we will not rest until all our comrades are once again running with us in the streets.

FREE ALL OCCUPY OAKLAND POLITICAL PRISONERS!
LONG LIVE THE OAKLAND COMMUNE!

FUCK THE OPD.

Peaceful violent provocation! Wait…what..? Exactly.

All emphasis theirs.

More Occupy Oakland make love not war peacefulness. The peaceful OO participants took the “war” against Oakland Police Dept. to their dark, commie anti-American hearts:

F*ck the Police just screams passive resistance!

Occupy Oakland protesters also lit a fire near the corner of Eighth and Washington streets.

Take away OccuCommies drugs and alcohol and I wonder how ballsy they would be then. Heh.

Oh goody! Weekly Occupy Oakland F*ck the Police riots:

Organizers of Saturday’s march have called for a weekly anti-police march on Saturday nights.
