An undercover police officer at an anti police violence and killing protest in Oakland last night pulled a gun on protesters before or after another officer was allegedly assaulted, depending on which account you read. There isn't a lot of information at this time but the officer had been involved with Occupy Oakland, presumably in his role as an undercover officer, prior to this protest and was called out as a cop at the protest along with another undercover officer.
Reports from at least one former participant of Occupy Oakland was that the officer closely resembled a man who had attempted to break up vigils previously with the stated intent of pushing for more militant action, but with the practical effect of merely causing strife among folks involved with OO.
There's not a lot more info right now, but I'll update as the info comes in.
11:29 AM PT: OPD is now claiming this wasn't an Oakland cop. No word on what organization it was.
Another quote form the article:
The crowd, incensed, began to gather around them. The second officer pulled out his gun and pointed it at the crowd. More officers quickly arrived and dispersed the crowd.
"I'm a white man, and I pulled off (the officer's) mask, but they punched a black man," Dylan said. "He got arrested."
