§Mayor Quan shows her Colors

Oakland Mayor Quan has finally revealed her true nature with first trying to put more police on the ground rather than education or job opportunities and now the removal of a peaceful broad community protest against the Banksters. Mayor Quan "Who do you Protect" should be the battle cry as a Native American elder I am not surprised but publically disgusted at this stance. If the Oakland police move in, I am sure of a larger encampment from the Indigenous, Latino and African American communities which will be encouraged by yours truelly.
