Mass Arrest of Occupy Oakland Protesters After Police Fire Various Weapons

Saturday January 28, 2012 8:42 pm




More than 300 were arrested in Oakland on Saturday. Most of the arrests took place in front of a YMCA.
Gavin Aronsen, a journalist with Mother Jones, was arrested.

This whole action began early in the afternoon as Occupy Oakland moved to convert a vacant building into a community center. The protesters were never able to get to the building. And, throughout the rest of Saturday, police chased protesters around firing off weapons and ultimately corralling them in one location where they had nowhere to go and could be arrested.
