It was clear that non-Oakland residents were leading this if you saw the protestors in the morning, who were well-dressed and well-groomed with their khaki pants, short hair and clean shaven faces. The mayor had invited all city workers and school teachers to participate. But by dusk when the actual Oakland residents were awakening and joining in, the crowd had changed and all he!! was breaking out as anyone who is familiar with Oakland demographics had to have anticipated. This is a very poor community with a high crime rate and not enough revenue to adequately fund police for everyday patrol let alone this chaos.

I think attempts to orchestrate and escalate this whole movement are well underway.

yes, it does. as a rule I refuse to watch or read Fox News. I get most of my news elsewhere because I don't believe in being part of a media cult that says you must only listen to their station to hear the truth.

In past demonstrations it has been proven to be outsiders who were causing the most problems.

Actions of outsiders unfair to Oakland - SFGate

It must be noted that about 75 percent of those arrested on suspicion of crimes after the verdict Thursday were from outside of Oakland, according to Police Chief Anthony Batts. Many of them are anarchists.

But it doesn't say if they were from northeast ultra-liberal areas like Berkeley for example.

If these protestors are so brave and anti-capitalist then let them try to stop Raider fans from going to a home game.

Here is the real story! Cops shooting peaceful protestors point blank with tear gas canisters in obvious attempt to injure or kill them.
Once the people try to establish their natural place as the rulers of this country, violence will occur.
Government knows no other way than overwhelming force.
Before this is over, you will see drones attacking American citizens in the name of fighting domestic terrorism.
The truth is the terrorists are the corporations, and Wall St.

Uh....yeah.
