Police clear out downtown Occupy Oakland camp

An anti-Wall Street encampment was cleared out in Oakland, California in the latest tensions in some US cities over Occupy demonstrators who have camped out for almost two months.Protesters appeared to put up little resistance, and officers led some away from the downtown plaza in handcuffs. Officers made 32 arrests, Police Chief Howard Jordan said.Some demonstrators gathered near the barricades and vowed to return. I dont see how theyre going to disperse us, said Ohad Meyer, 30. There are thousands of people who are going to come back.The action came a day after police drove hundreds of anti-Wall Street demonstrators from weeks-old encampments in Portland, Oregon, arresting more than 50 people.Officials across the US have been urging an end to similar gatherings after four deaths in different cities, including two by gunfire.Oakland officials insisted on an end to their citys encampment after a man was shot and killed Thursday near the camp. Police issued an order Sunday night telling demonstrators they couldnt camp in the plaza.We came to this point because Occupy Oakland, I think, began to take a different path than the original movement. It was no longer about the pieces of the financial system or foreclosures or the unemployed, Mayor Jean Quan said.She said protesters would be allowed to return to the plaza but would not be allowed to spend the night.
