Here we go again.

The city has circulated what amounts to an eviction notice on Occupy Oakland, and is calling for the Occupiers to leave peacefully.

The latest excuse is a shooting that happened near Frank Ogawa Plaza on Thursday. They say the occupation is no longer safe.

Oddly enough, there was a stabbing outside of a Raiders-Chargers game this evening, but nobody is talking about how the NFL is a bad influence and really needs to pack up, go home, and figure out a different way to act. Even though this is the second violent incident after a Raiders game this season.

And of course, nobody is talking about disbanding the Oakland Police Department, despite the video evidence that there are at least a few bad apples in that bunch. (See: Law professors shocked by police brutality against Occupy Oakland)

As Rawstory reported, “A sarcastic tweet from @occupyoakland commenting on the reports of shots being fired near the White House on Friday evening suggested, “Sounds like the Exec branch is fomenting violence. Lets evict them too’.”

The “Notice of violations and demand to cease violations” is fascinating, really. It says, among other things, thatt he Occupation is “interfering with the comfortable enjoyment of the Plaza”. Last time I checked, Constitutional rights were not circumscribed by the comfort levels of the powerful.

Kieth Olbermann says that rather than Occupy Oakland leaving, maybe it’s Mayor Jean Quan who should leave.
