Over 500 Occupy Oakland protestors marched to protest police brutality near Police Department headquarters Saturday night. 

Two dozen officers with helmets and batons blocked the street. There were several confrontations between activists and authorities but the night ended peacefully and without arrests. 

Marchers were protesting OPD after Iraq War veteran Scott Olsen was injured by police force while peacefully protesting. 

Occupy protestors are regrouping in Nashville and Denver the day after mass arrests were made. 30 protestors were arrested in Portland, Ore. early Sunday for not observing a park's curfew. 

Police arrested Occupy protestors in Texas over food tables on Sunday. Severe weather is making life difficult for Occupy movements in the Northeast.
