Noon Update: Hundreds of people are around the Federal Building in Oakland, regrouping for more protests. Dockworkers are shutting down the Oakland docks after Oakland police fired at them and anti-war protesters this morning.
Oakland police brandishing "HIGH CALIBER" artillery attacked anti-war demonstrations this morning at dockyards in West Oakland. The demonstrators arrived around 7am, where their picket line was successful in provoking the ILWU to send some of its workers home for the day.
After approximately 30 minutes, the Oakland Police Department moved in to disperse the demonstrators, using tear gas, concussion grenades, wooden bullets, and beanbags full of metal shot. Several people, including six onlooking workers, suffered moderate injuries. From there, some demonstrators apparently tried to block highway entrances before regrouping at the West Oakland BART station and marching downtown to the Oakland Federal Building.
