14 Occupy Oakland Protesters Arrested

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Authorities say 14 people were arrested in separate confrontations between Occupy Oakland protesters and police Friday.

The Oakland Tribune reports that ten people were arrested during a scuffle near Frank Ogawa Plaza around 2 p.m. when police told them to remove cooking and sleeping gear.

Earlier, four people were arrested around 12:15 p.m. in a dispute with officers after a platform had been erected in a tree near Oakland City Hall.

The arrests come after 12 people were arrested at a foreclosed property in west Oakland Thursday and 14 protesters were arrested at vacant lot on Wednesday.
