California police resorted to tear gas as many as five times Tuesday, attempting to force hundreds of Occupy Oakland protesters to disperse. The protestors at the entrance of the Frank Ogawa Plaza at 14th Street and Broadway were unyielding, even after repeated warnings from police, which led to the firing of several tear gas canisters around 7.45 p.m. Pacific Time.
