"Happy holidays (if that’s your thing). I am fed up with the SF Chron and local politicians freaking out about the next Port shut down. The first shut down was in response to brutal police tactics on Oct 25. The second was to support port workers and truckers. So don’t blame us. Keep the cops under control and treat people like human beings and they will be less likely to close our port!"
— Dan Siegel (legal adviser for Oakland Mayor Jean Quan until November 14th, 2011, when he resigned in protest of Oakland Police Department’s brutal uses of force)
