Busloads of police officers are arriving in downtown Oakland for what may be a second attempt to clear protesters from their encampments.

The situation near Oakland's Frank Ogawa Plaza appears to be reaching a head as police mobilize and Occupy Oakland supporters rally on Oakland streets Monday.

BART trains are not stopping at Oakland's 12th Street Station and officials are warning of possible disruptions to the morning commute due to the possibility of street protests in the area.

Occupy Oakland demonstrators have noted a sizable build-up of Bay Area law enforcement agencies at the Oakland Coliseum and believe that the clearance of protestors from Frank Ogawa Plaza is imminent.
