Yes, and the main complaint seems to be, "Get the hell off your lawn in your park, you damn Americans".

Isn't the Mayor of Oakland a liberal democrat ? She ordered the police to clear out the protesters. See just another reason to vote Republican in 2012.

i absolutely despise cops.

whoever threw that flash bang should be locked up in general population for a long, long time.

Americans should NEVER be attacked for peaceful protesting.

Footage found today that shows Scott Olsen standing before the police (he's in camo hat and coat, next to the sailor from Veterans for Peace holding the flag) - being shot in the head with a teargas cannister.

There is zero provocation. This also proves there are no "bottles, fireworks, rocks" being thrown at the police. Zero. The public police department claim that they fired at the protesters as they were being attacked by protesters is a complete lie.

Everyone knew it from the live feeds when it happened, and videos already released, this is just more direct proof.

You can also see the paralyzed vet in the wheelchair, who was attacked with tear gas by the police (and is famously in many images of that night)

Again here we are with police dressed as storm troopers and a sickening justification for brutality over a few hurled bottles, paint, and an unconfirmed claim of a urine bomb? So these cops, who basically are in body armor, are justified almost killing a man? Get the f.uck out of here with that bulls.hit propaganda.
