Mayor Jean Quan’s Legal Adviser Quits Over Clearing Of Occupy Oakland Camp

Posted on November 14, 2011 by TRP

As a platoon of Oakland Police Department officers began clearing out Occupy Oakland’s encampment for a second time at Frank Ogawa Plaza downtown, one of Mayor Jean Quan’s advisers resigned in protest. Quan’s legal adviser Dan Siegel announced his decision via Twitter early this morning.

Siegel tweeted:

No longer Mayor Quan’s legal advisor. Resigned at 2 am. Support Occupy Oakland, not the 1% and its government facilitators.

Siegel’s resignation should not come as much of a shock. The attorney said he had come close to resigning over the city’s first raid, in which the police used tear-gas and rubber bullets to disperse the activists.
