City of Oakland Interim Police Chief Howard Jordan told the Associated Press and Reuters that the violence and property damage that occurred near Frank Ogawa Plaza in Downtown Oakland after the general strike last Wednesday was caused by “anarchists and provocateurs.” This was an armed conflict between the local city police officers and the local sheriff's deputies of Northern California and, quite possibly, paid FBI agents provocateurs who were sent in to infiltrate Occupy Oakland, commit violence and damage property in order to give the police a pretext for a use of force in the form of chemical weapons, rubber bullets and flash-bang grenades.
