Who's fault is that?
Occupy Oakland and Oakland police have been playing the blame game with who's responsible for the chaos and violence that erupted in downtown Saturday night. And while it continues to be a chicken-or-the-egg debate, police can say with some certainty that occupiers are responsible for the break-in at City Hall Saturday night

Oakland police released some surveillance that they say refutes claims by protesters that the doors to City Hall were left open, meaning there was no illegal break-in. In this footage, it appears as though someone pried the doors open with a tool, allowing a group of protesters to rush the building.
