Jerry Brown On Occupy Oakland: Governor Vows To Help Prevent Port Shutdown“I’d give whatever help was needed,” the governor told CBS News. “We don’t look to the Guard for police work except under extreme emergencies. However, there are resources under mutual aid and in Oakland. With some leadership and some imagination, not only can they keep the port open, but they should keep the port open.
”Brown also touched on the movement's lack of specific demands. ”I do think that politicians are listening, but in terms of some programmatic agenda -– that has not been articulated, and I don’t think it ever will be,” he said.
But the governor refused to discuss Occupy Oakland in relation to the city's embattled mayor, Jean Quan. "I don't think Jean Quan needs more critics," he told reporters.
