Rubber Bullets, Concussion Grenades Used to Clear Anti-War Demonstrators

Oakland police brandishing "non-lethal" artillery attacked anti-war demonstrations this morning at dockyards in West Oakland.

The demonstrators arrived around 7am, where their picket line was successful in provoking the ILWU to send some of its workers home for the day.

After approximately 30 minutes, the OPD moved to disperse the demonstrators, using tear gas, concussion grenades, and rubber bullets. In the process, several people, including six onlooking workers, suffered moderate injuries. From there, some demonstrators apparently tried to block highway enterances in the West Oakland neighborhood.

Thus far seven arrests have been reported. Read More
