This shows the actual police attack in slo-mo. VERY disturbing.

1. VFP member was hit by the Police attack!

Veterans for Peace member Scott Olsen was wounded by a less-lethal round fired by either San Francisco Sheriffs deputies or Palo Alto Police on October 25, 2011 at 14th Street and Broadway in Downtown Oakland

2. Note the cop's tactics here. Knock down a protester, others go to his aid, flashbang them.

It's the same approach as terrorists use with bomb attacks.

There is something innately f-cked up about people who do this sort of thing.

3. Does anyone know if Oakland PD

got their training from Blackwater scum?

[dotymed]

8. That is how a sniper works too.

They wound a person and kill or wound ever person that tries to help their fallen comrade. What a disgusting bunch of cowards. Wait until it's their turn.

4. They were going back to help someone who was injured.

You can clearly see where the tear-gas canister was deliberately lobed into the circle of those helping. In war, the wounded and those who help them have protections. Our citizens exercising their constitutional rights have less protection than our enemies..

Articles 12 and 18 requires all parties to protect and care for the wounded, sick, and shipwrecked.

5. Where is Governor Brown on this? n/t

7. Where are the Democratic President, Democratic Governor, Democratic Mayor, Dem. Senators & Reps?

Glad you notice their deafening silence at escalating police violence. It reminds me of the '60s.

If our elected officials wanted to stop the escalation, they would. They need to do so that, now, or the Right will again do a judo-flip and re-manufacture the "Silent Majority" crap. Police violence serves no one other than the GOP and the 1 percent.

6. Yep. Disgusting.

[civilisation]

9. That is truly disgusting!

People where leaving the area as the cops start shooting gas and flash bombs into the crowd. One of the activists is left laying on the ground, injured by the cops. Some people return into the gas zone to help the downed activist,. then the pigs throw a flash bomb right into the group coming to the aid of the fallen?,. WTF! the whole time the cops are BEHIND a metal barricade? there was never any threat to the cops,. so that sorta' defence is not going to fly,. this was an attack by the police on people helping someone the cops had just injured. This is completely unacceptable. Oakland needs more people to go there and help them quiet their cops down some,.

10. Make this go viral

11. This is beyond fucked up

It's legally and morally WRONG.
