Oakland

cops just can't get enough of shooting non-violent protesters:

Or beating them, then denying them needed care, which is not even allowed in war:

Occupy Eugene is suffering from the effects of yet another move without sufficient infrastructure in place.  It is messy, chaotic, and treading heavily on the line the city will use to shut it down, if it chooses--Sanitation.

Part of the problem is that the conditions at the camp for so many are a step up: lighting, water, toilets, food, and freedom from police harassment for camping or having open alcohol in public. Another is a disconnect between day trippers like me and those on the ground most of the time--and what I'd have to describe as the Executives, who meet with the City, the police, the University, travel to other Occupy sites,  and who seldom go a day without shaving their face, or legs, as the case may be.

Former Senator Feingold speaks at 4 p.m. today.  Wonder if he'll get heckled.
