In the early morning hours on October 25th police raided the Occupy Oakland encampment. That caused a confrontation between police and protesters causing many injuries including that of Scott Olsen who is an Iraqi War Vet. Scott Olsen was hit on the head with a projectile which was shot by unknown police forces. He is currently in critical condition and is suffering from a fractured skull. On October 26th the protesters were back to retake control of Frank Ogawa plaza in downtown Oakland.
On Wednesday the Occupy SF location received letters warning of arrests and the destruction of their location if certain requirements weren't met. So people arrived at the Occupy SF location to defend it from a pending raid. The raid never occurred; however many local politicians and mayoral candidates were sitting with the Occupy SF-ers in order to stop the raid by police. However protesters protected that site with HUMAN SHIELDS and were ready for tear gas, and awaited arrest.

While it would be great for the city to provide us with constantly cleaned porta potties, i think it's kind of short sighted to want dpw to be out there cleaning up our shit (literally). many of us are privileged enough to be able to spend time in occupysf. cleaning up porta potties is hard and nasty work. if we are trying to create this kind of alternative space, taking back space, building up our own communities, then let's figure out a way to clean up our own shit.
