Oakland police fire riot weapons on protesters

In Oakland CA today protesters blocked the road entry of a company with a contract to handle shipping in Umm-Qasr, Iraq. The protesters clashed with police (they claim metal bolts were tossed) and the police attacked the crowd with various riot-gear weapons such as wooden blocks and rubber bullets. There is a pretty shocking video on San Francisco Indymedia. The video was by a protester who gets wounded by the police about halfway through. And there's a monorail in the background.
