The closure of the Port of Oakland by the protesters is largely due to the inappropriate, illegal and violent response by Oakland PD towards the protesters last week. Firing tear gas canisters at the faces of non violent LAWFUL protesters and fracturing a skull and causing other injuries followed by more tear gas thrown directly at the people trying to help the injured protester is about the dumbest and worst thing a police force can do. The Oakland PD is in very hot water over many other incidents like this over the last few years. If the Police don't like being in tough positions, they shouldn't violate the rights of the citizens they're sworn to protect.
