Same thing happened with the everywhere picture of the guy from OWS in New York, with the very bloody head? He was destroying police barricades, in front of the police, and the cops closed down Zuccotti, came in, took him down, and his head is bloody from hitting the curb when they took him down (that's all on video).

The Occupy movement supports no violence or illegal actions other than misdemeanor civil disobedience.

Oakland has trouble, there is a violent faction there. You can read - as it's all public - on the blogs and websites where the Occupy camps hang out, they've talked about what they did with cutting the fence, and they do not like what this splinter group has done (occupying private property)
i understand that these protests will get hangers on who have their own agenda-but that certainly doesn't mean that the 'real' protesters are all lily white. not by a long shot. occupy spokespeople said they'd be in that lot a day or two; they obviously were aware of what it would take to occupy that lot.
but, if they want to pick and choose what laws to break, i guess they can't be surprised when they get arrested. i didn't know trespassing and destruction of property were misdemeanors.
or do they get their bad guy brothers to take all that heat while they stand by and claim innocence? but they'll move in after the hard work is done?
