Oakland Mayor Jean Quan’s wrong-headed policy with regard to the ‘Occupy Oakland’ crowd has resulted in the murder of a young man and issuance of an “enough is enough” plea from police in this liberal-infested town.
As reported, in part, at the reference:
OAKLAND -- The shooting death of a young man Thursday evening near Occupy Oakland is bringing more attention to the tent city and prompting calls for campers to leave quietly.Once again, the utterly flawed policies of a left-wing mayor have hampered police and ended up costing a young man his life.
On Friday morning, the Oakland Police Officers Association joined the chorus with an open letter to the campers, asking them to "leave Frank Ogawa Plaza peacefully and immediately so Oakland police can get back to work fighting the devastating crime that's occurring in our neighborhoods."
Sgt. Dom Arotzarena, OPOA president, said the letter was sent out mainly because of Thursday's violence.
"In light of yesterday's violence, enough is enough. What more needs to happen? We would like to see the protesters leave peacefully," Arotzarena said.”
The scene was relatively quiet early Friday morning around Occupy Oakland and a shrine was set up near the spot where a man was shot and killed the previous night. The coroner's office not yet released the name of the man, pending notification of next of kin, and officials are only saying that he may have been in his 20s.
There's been no significant change in the number of tents on Frank H. Ogawa Plaza, despite Mayor Jean Quan's plea late Thursday for the campers to leave on their own in the wake of the shooting.”
The man was shot and killed at about 5 p.m., Thursday just yards from the entrance to the Occupy Oakland encampment, apparently after a fight with other men.
The killing, which came as hundreds of occupiers prepared to celebrate the camp's one-month anniversary, prompted Quan to call for the campers "to leave voluntarily tonight."
How many more murders will it take before state and federal authorities arrest Mayor Quan and take over this crazy town?
