Oakland: A disproportionate response

By Pablo Fanque, National Affairs Editor

Re-occupy Oakland? Yes, there are Molotov cocktails on the poster. No, we don't advocate violence in OWS. . .but we also know that is where this all leads, if the police, tactical squads, SWAT teams, and God forbid, the National Guard, insist on using violence against peaceful protestors. Passive resistance, unfortunately, only lasts so long when faced with a disproportionate response like we saw in Oakland yesterday.
