Boogie Man Journal: What really happened at Occupy Oakland on Saturday January 28 - Read my firsthand account, not the news. Please Spread.: "If you only remember one detail be it this: Tonight's mass arrest occurred without a dispersal order. No law was broken. The only order given was: "You are under arrest. Submit to your arrest." 300 peaceful protesters walking down a street were trapped and arrested unlawfully."

This was posted on Facebook by a friend. I cannot speak to its veracity but it feels-at the very least-honest in its perception. Some people may disagree with the author's version of events but it seems to jibe well with some other brief accounts.
The alleged behavior of Oakland P.D. seem par for the course when you consider this story:
A federal judge has granted significant decision-making powers to the monitors charged with overseeing court-ordered reforms at the Oakland Police Department, a move that brings the department one step closer to a federal takeover.
