Occupy Oakland's return spells trouble to top cop

Pure comedy gold...

In remarks that may put him on a collision course with his boss, interim Oakland Police Chief Howard Jordan tells us that the decision to allow Occupy campers to return to Frank Ogawa Plaza is going to "pose a significant public safety hazard to citizens and police alike."

"If there is a call for service in that camp, if someone gets injured, it's going to be very difficult for police to respond," Jordan said.

"The crowd is going to be very hostile and aggressive toward police because they have been given carte blanche to be in the camp and they really don't see us as coming to help," Jordan said.

Really? What makes you think that?

"Difficult for police to respond"? Like when people begged them for help when someone was on the ground, and they did nothing, so someone had to take him to the hospital in a car?! :wtf:

5. Then change your actions, "come and help" keep security but don't abuse.

7. Hey Howie! I have a sure-fire suggestion!!!

If your men are coming to HELP somebody, have them leave the face shields, the batons, and the tear gas canisters. Have them come in looking like a regular patrolman!

fuckin' lying idiot.
