Where is the proof? I been online all morning looking for videos of protestors throwing rocks and bottles as what has been claimed by the news media and I have not found one video. The only thing I have seen them throw is teargas that the police used. Now the news agencies would never distort the facts now would they.... Let's see what these tea party members feel about how CNN covered them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CtldHzRQE8
Could it be that the news media is distorting the facts just like they did to these guys? Wake up!
A collective of 16+ different police agencies raided Oakland but there isn't one video of violent protestors??? Something is a bit fishy.
There is a big difference between civil disobedience (refusing to leave and being arrested) and a violent protest.

What were the police called out to do in the first place? What law were they enforcing?

True, I'm just asking what the police were called in for (in full riot gear) in the first place.

btw, while I don't know all the details yet, I don't think anyone "deserves" a tear gas canister to the face.
