I imagine Pike and the chancellor got more than a few emails :lol: The chancellor wrote an absolutely pathetic response letter one can find on the internet. I don't think Pike has said peep yet. On one video I saw he sprayed directly into faces, down throats, and even threatened the entire crowd watching with a two-fisted display of two huge pepper spray bottles - one in each hand. Fire the man!

Oakland had another march yesterday for general Occupy themes plus a special one - to save the schools in Oakland - five of which are stated to be closed this year and 30 are in danger of being closed in the next few. That would leave a poor and predominantly minority city with NO public schools - only private [the idea from the School Board]. To save the five schools would cost 2.5 million - the exact cost of the police used to remove peaceful demonstrators from near the Mayor's office two weeks ago. America has money for war and controlling the populace, but none for education, healthcare, infrastructure, environment, arts, libraries, etc. :darthvader:
