Denver police arrest 16 Occupy protesters | 9news.com Denver police spokesperson Sonny Jackson says around 4 p.m., police asked protestors to remove a food table that was on the park property. Nobody claimed the table and no one was removing it. Jackson says protestors then became upset and started surrounding a police car. One female protestor was arrested after pushing a police officer. The protests resumed again Sunday after 17 people were arrested Saturday. "You cannot set up chairs and beds and things of that nature in the right of way," Jackson said. Some of the protestors made an effort to break down their camps before the police moved in, loading their items into cars and trucks, but their efforts were too late. Other protesters blocked a nearby Colfax Avenue, which riot police quickly cleared. Police say some of the items they seized from the camp can be reclaimed at a later time. "We are going to take anything that appears to be property to the property bureau and they can collect that at a later day," Jackson said.

All Over Albany: Last protestor being taken... Scott Olsen, Marine vet injured by police at Occupy Oakland, is released from hospital Scott Olsen, the 24-year-old Marine veteran seriously injured by a police projectile during a violent raid on the peaceful Occupy Oakland encampment, was released from the hospital this week. Olsen received traumatic brain injury when a police officer (still un-named, from an unknown force, maybe Oakland police but maybe not) shot him with a so-called "less-lethal" round. Veterans For Peace volunteer Adele says: I had a chance to visit Scott this evening. He is very present, alert, and has a lot of energy. Read the rest here, including updates on his legal support and housing needs. (Photograph: Keith Shannon)
UC cops' use of batons on Occupy camp questioned A debate over the use of police force has reignited at the UC Berkeley campus after videos surfaced showing officers repeatedly shoving and jabbing screaming students who tried to keep officers from dismantling a nascent Occupy encampment. The videos taken by protesters, journalists and casual observers show UC Berkeley police and Alameda County sheriff's deputies in riot gear ordering students with linked arms to leave a grassy area outside the campus administration building Wednesday. When the students didn't move, police lowered their face shields and began hitting the protesters with batons. University police say the students, who chanted "You're beating students" during the incident, were not innocent bystanders, and that the human fence they tried to build around seven tents amounted to a violent stance against police. But many law enforcement experts said Thursday that the officers' tactics appeared to be a severe overreaction. Sgt. Questionable actions Handling civil disobedience

At Occupy Camps, Veterans Bring the Wars Home - Tina Dupuy - Politics Expert at living in tents, some veterans are finding new purpose in the streets We're in a coffee shop near McPherson Square, the location of Occupy DC, and Michael Patterson, 21, and I are having hot cocoa on a cold November night. He's wearing an Iraq Veterans Against the War sweatshirt and baggy shorts. It's freezing outside. "I'm from Alaska," he offers as an explanation. He's been sleeping in a tent in D.C. for over a month now. In Zuccotti Park, Army Specialist Jerry Bordeleau, 24, was sitting next to a table of IWW (Industrial Workers of the World) literature. At Occupy Baltimore, I met 21-year-old Justin Carson, who tells me he served in the Army National Guard in Iraq from 2009 until this February. It was a surprise to meet Iraq war vets at these protests. Their presence became national news when Iraq vet and former Marine Scott Olsen's skull was fractured by a non-lethal round fired by police in Oakland in late-October. I ask him what was the switch for him and when.
