Crazy afternoon in Oakland, CA.  Apparently the "Occupy Oakland" movement has been hit with tear gas canisters by local law enforcement members.
According to the Oakland Tribune just minutes ago....and Fox News just issued a "News Alert" about the situation.....(also got this LIVE FEED from the Occupy Oakland Web Feed)

OAKLAND -- Police have fired tear gas and flash bang grenades at Occupy Oakland protesters as they marched near the Oakland Museum of CaliforniaAs marchers walked up Oak Street near 12th Street, a line of police blocked the path and declared it an unlawful assembly. Police then fired tear gas and some protesters tweeted rubber bullets were fired into the crowd. 
The marchers turned around and began marching in the opposite direction.
