Protesters Clash With Police at Occupy Oakland 11-02-11

Thousands have gone on a general strike in the city of Oakland, California, while police reportedly enter a protesters' camp. Up to 100 people have already been arrested, and the standoff at the camp continues. According to unconfirmed reports, many police officers are not wearing badges and have tape covering their names. Police officers are using tear gas and bullets which, basically, consist of heavy pellets of cloth, RT's Lucy Kafanov reports from the site. She also added that the camp has been completely surrounded by police, whose numbers by far exceed those of the protestors -- by approximately 200 to 150. Many police officers are wearing gas masks. "People are attending to a man grimacing in pain on the grass. He was hit in the leg with a police projectile, I'm told," eyewitness Gavin Aronsen tweeted in his microblog.
