In Portland, Oregon, 50 arrests were made as the Occupy Portland camp was cleared, and a chain-link fence topped topped with barbed wire was erected to prevent demonstrators from re-entering the park, as hundreds marched in protest at the clearance. Authorities in Oakland, California, warned Occupy campers that a similar crackdown was coming, reflecting a hardening of attitudes since a man was shot dead close to the camp there in an incident thought to be unconnected to the protests. Authorities in Denver forced protestors to leave a downtown encampment, and arrested four in the process. In Salt Lake City, police arrested 19 people on Saturday when demonstrators refused to leave a city park. And in Albany, New York, police arrested 25 Occupy Albany protestors after they defied a curfew in a city-owned park. http://news.linktv.org/videos/occupy-oakland-early-morning-police-raid-clears-camp?start=0 WARNING: Strong Language.

Many protesters expressed outrage over of the injury of Oakland protester Scott Olsen, a 24-year-old Iraq War veteran whose skull was fractured by a projectile fired by police Tuesday night. He is hospitalized in critical condition and is reportedly under sedation by doctors monitoring his injury. Democracy Now! speaks to Jesse Palmer, an Occupy Oakland protester who helped move Olsen to safety, and to Aaron Hinde, a close friend of Scott Olsen and a fellow member of Iraq Veterans against War. One of Olsen's other friends, Adele Carpenter, told Reuters, "The irony is not lost on anyone here that this is someone who survived two tours in Iraq and is now seriously injured by the Oakland police force." Aaron Hinde talked about why Olsen joined the Occupy Oakland movement: "He was a very motivated and dedicated individual and he believed in the Occupy movement because it's very obvious what's happening in this country, especially as veterans, we've had our eyes opened by serving and going to war over seas." http://news.linktv.org/videos/police-fire-tear-gas-flash-grenades-as-protesters-try-to-re-occupy-oakland-after-raid?start=0 Oakland police repeatedly fired tear gas and flash grenades Tuesday night as protesters attempted to retake the Occupy Oakland encampment outside City Hall, only 12 hours after police tore apart the camp and arrested more than 90 people in a pre-dawn raid.
