Uploaded by RussiaToday on Nov 2, 2011 Over 10,000 Occupy Wall Street protesters have shut down the port of Oakland in California. It follows a violent police crackdown there when police stormed the demonstrators' staging ground last week. A former US Marine suffered a fractured skull when he was hit by a projectile when police tried to clear a protest camp in central Oakland. News that a veteran had allegedly been injured by police brought even more protesters onto the street. RT's Lucy Kafanov has the latest from Oakland.
