WASHINGTON—The National Park Service said it would
start enforcing a prohibition against camping at the site of "Occupy DC"
protests on Monday, setting up a potential clash between protestors and
authorities at one of the nation's last remaining "Occupy" encampments.
The move reflects a change in course for the Obama
administration, which is overseeing the protests here because they are
taking place in two federal parks.

OAKLAND, California — Police used tear gas and
"flash" grenades Saturday to break up hundreds of Occupy protesters
after some demonstrators started throwing rocks and flares at officers
and tearing down fencing.
Three officers were hurt and about 300 people were arrested, the
Oakland Police Department said . No details on the officers' injuries
were released.
Police said the group started assembling at a downtown plaza Saturday
morning, with demonstrators threatening to take over the vacant Henry
Kaiser Convention Center. The group then marched through the streets,
disrupting traffic.
