Okay, on Occupy Oakland, my local newscast (KCOY-12, Santa Maria, CA), said that

some protestors were arrested because they had dynamite and assaulted police officers. Since I have to believe this is BS or there were some disruptors there that were trying to make the protestors look bad, I'm asking anyone who really knows what happened to post here and if they have some documentation, all the better. I will contact my local news and ask them to retract what they said or at least correct the record.

I tried to find the story on their website but it seems to be absent.

1. Dynamite? Bought where? Walmart?

3. Didn't say. The whole report was brief, damning and not backed by video or anything.

I think it's BS but I want to be sure before I call them and tell them they are wrong.

No mention of dynamite

Just the usuall cops harrasing and beating the protesters
