There are tens of videos from Oakland last night on the internet, including from valid news organizations such as local ABC-7 that were there during the multiple hours of repeated attack waves.
You are welcome to try and find one where the protesters initiated just cause for violent police attack against peaceful protesters standing there, by tossing homemades bombs, firecrackers, etc. at the police.
The police are also lying about "we didn't use flash grenades and rubber bullets". Isn't that beyond obvious from the videos?
The Oakland PD are complete idiots, who are unawares that there are hundreds of cameras on their every move, and they can't get away with blatant lying any more?
Oakland PD have a bit of a rep, of course, for over-reaction. They came dressed in riot gear, fully armed. Let's hope tonight isn't worse. You can view it live on the internet, there are multiple live streams.
And I would like to remind you, that in America, we have the right to peacefully assemble in public and protest. No matter who doesn't like it.
