Has Occupy Oakland, or the larger OWS, ever condemned burning the flag, destroying children's artwork, and causing mayhem around an art museum? Mayor Quan might well be right, that this is a splinter group, but I don't see a refutation by OO or OWS. The violence is going to mar the entire OWS movement, whether justified by the police, or not.
What about the businesses hurt because people are afraid to go to the area because of the crowds (I don't live in Oakland, but I would be afraid if the same happened here). Sooner or later, a protester is going to "throw an object" and someone is going to get killed.
I just don't see how breaking and entering and vandalism is justified.
