whether military or not police had no right to do this. their job is to serve and protect they are serving gov and protecting gov they are suppose to prptect and serve the people the very people that pay their salaries which is any person that pays taxes. just sad to see what our world has become really just in the last 15 years. I think of the younger people out there and hope that you will not ignore the old folks that know how this country was suppose to be. I like to talk to my grandma
Point being the kid was standing there as was everyone... there is no need to break up a non violent protest. The shot was probably an accident but then when people come to help that cop throws another grenade right in the middle of them...

In regards to dalekyaring, you have not ever been in the service. You are a fraud. As any REAL Veteran or active duty member knows there are rule for deadly force. The cops pictured violated this simple rule. They were never in any kind of fatal danger. They fired upon unarmed people. Please stop Telling people you are a veteran, you are an embarassment to those of us who really are.
You had your protest now its time to get our of the streets and let other peoples life continue again, your freedom ends where somewhone elses begins, dont do that? Get a teargas canister in your face. I dont see the problem. Many protesters feel the need to act like heroes when their message is already heard, standing infront of a bunch of police offers telling them names and shit. Im not for the police perse but ive seen first hand what peacefull protests mean when youre there.
@beastyboiz, we're did you get the stats so I can check them my self. Also what is with you left wing and the tea party I never said a word about them. You dirt bags are trying so hard to one up the tea party. IRS web site top 10% of Americans earn 100,000 to 120,000 per year your 99% is more like the bottom 1%. Ps get those facts for me. Not that you just made them up
@boxcarllc actually, the Occupy Protesters are MORE EMPLOYED than the tea party. Poll statistics put it the employment rate within the 70-80% range as opposed to the tea party's 50% employment rate. OWS unemployment rates are within a couple points of the national unemployment statistic, making them a very fair representation of the national employment rate. Any argument telling the Occupy Protesters to get a job is blatantly wrong.
Can I get a 'G'. Can I get an 'E'. can I get a 'T'. Can I an 'A'. Can I get a 'J'. Can I get an 'O'. Can I get a 'B'. what does that spell GET A JOB!! How about that for one of your stupid chants. all of you professional students look the same. You would not know a good cause if it bit you on the head, PS I love the A hole calling for a Medic..lol..
Hmmm, who would be inclined to yell medic? Maybe someone with military experience? So you're laughing at the guy yelling for a medic for a marine who was just shot in the head...
Send me a message. We can meet anywhere you want. I'll even fly out to meet you. What do you say?
did they not say sadam was doing this same thing too his people and they attacked and killed him?who will protect you from your own? only you can protect you and your own these days
Being ignorant doesn't make you look cool nor does anyone think that its funny. If they do they're just as sad of a person as you are. I don't know how old you are but grow up and think before you speak (Well in this case post). If you can't do that how about just completely refraining from commenting all together. These people were attacked by police while protesting. They didn't have guns, this isn't Iraq, they do NOT need to die or be attacked like this.
For all those who are hating on the police, they keep the dumb people like you from doing stupid things in society, protecting everyone from you guys. If you really knew what the police did to protect you, I bet you would never hate on the police again.
@dalekyarng The marine HAS a job, you moron, he's an EMPLOYED ENGINEER. He was not running, you lying POS. And the police can't possibly justify shooting him in the head from point blank range, much less throwing a flash grenade at those who rushed to help him. "Violating the law" or not, lethal force was not justified.
It's sad to see so much hate between fellow men. You all chose to put down the protestors and many of you go as far as wishing death upon them. Spouting vulgar remarks and labeling people as idiots, hippies, scum bags, etc makes us no better than animals, and even then animals aren't as hateful creatures as everyone has become. These are people are simply fighting for what they believe is right. What, like YOU have never acted out before? Too much superiority complexes going on here. Truly sad.
These people are insane they are destroying oakland. This is a very violent riot. No wonder the police are there. Good job police protect us from these retards.
That does not give you or anybody else to take a man's life, even though man can sometime be uneducated and fight for reasons that are unreasonable, but this man was not fight, nor was he acting upon violence, there is no reason for him to be shot by a weapon that can kill upon impact, A rubber bullet would have been fine, but using a grenade launcher pointed at someone point blank is an intent to kill.
I am a PROUD VETERAN.. the Marine was running - he ran in front of the projectile.. AND he was in a group of people that where violating the law.. This VETERAN stands with the POLICE- not the Marine turned into anarchist.
Seems to me more of the protestors need some brutal treatment.
@dalekyarng "he ran in front of the projectile" We must be watching a different video because the one I saw showed him standing still for quite a while, then shot, then flashed. I don't dispute your stance personally but this video demonstrates a clear violation of civil rights.
@dalekyarng Thank you for your service but your mind is screwed up. The powers that be lied to you when you enlisted. Didn't they? They lied to the Marines when they sent you to Vietnam, They lied to you as to why we fought the first Gulf war. They lied to you when you went into Iraq. They lied to you when they told you how long you would be there, right? For you to say a Marine ran into a bullet is sick. Are you saying we had over 4,000 dead in Iraq because the Marines ran into Iraqi bullets.
@STUBBORNOTTER .. Nope.. my mind is just fine. just because you disagree does not make me screwed up- exam your self- freaktoid.
No one lied to me when I enlisted in 1987.. no one has lied to me since. I have no problems serving in the military- I still serve - still enlisted. I served in Iraq.. I am proud of that.. and I would go back. I would go to Afghanistan, I would go to Bosnia, I would go where the US Army tells me to go.
You.. need to lay off the pot and whatever else you are smoking..
@dalekyarng We don't have a dissagreement of opinin we differ on the facts. Facts can be checked. Fact is you went to Iraq based on a lie. All Americans are proud of your service there. The leaders who sent you there lied as to why you needed to go. They sent Black Water in and they were paid 3 times what they paid you. They sent KBR in to give you clean water and they let you drink water right out of the river. 12 soldiers were electicuted in their showers due to KBR substandard constuction
@dalekyarng And thats coming from a Conservative inbred baboon who went into a tail spin shitting his pants at the thought of imaginary shinny aluminum tubes in the hands of Saddam "Hitler" Hussein. Come on now, give us a break a pebble will have you offering under the table "please keep me safe" blow jobs to a janitor in a blue uniform. You friggin inbred halfbreeds arm yourself ot the teeth to go squirrel hunting. Christ the Native did it with bows and arrows you ninnys need a bazooka.
You know the sad thing is, if this gets any more out of control, I will be called to hold the line.
I'm not against this, but I can't be for it.... not while I wear the flag upon my shoulders.
Only my oath guides me and I will maintain my allegiance.
The true question remains, who deserves my allegiance? This rabble of misguided, uneducated twats or the consortium of educated evil masterminds taking advantage of the uneducated masses?
@81essentials Nine years active and my time next month I ETS. I could reenlist, but the last year or so has really made me question if it's something I should be aiming for. I don't think I could ever hold the line for this country. Not like this. Not when it's asked to attack unarmed civilians and break the morale of the American people. That's not why any of us signed on the line dude. This isn't why you sat on your bed, and said "Fuck man, I'm going to sign up" and you know that.
You are called to serve the people. I don't know a lot about occupy wall street, but I do know that it is a cop's job to protect even the (ignorant) people, from harm. It is NOT a cop's job to do something wrong and evil at the word of his bosses. Cop's have the important job of keeping the citizens safe, not dead.
@LadyofBammare Common misconception. "I swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same"
The fact is, Soldiers aren't defenders of the people, we are defenders of the constitution. The people, quite frankly, are incidental. As cold as that sounds, the constitution is the mechanic designed to protect the people, we are mere enforcers of that mechanic.
I have a lot of respect for cops... I just hope that they would be a little more gentle- but in this case it seems permissible to put out tear gas to reduce the crowds, but not aim it at people... I hope it was a mistake..
Maybe you should talk with your superior on your feelings about what you have to do. He or she would know way more than us uneducated internet people. :) God Bless America and end this strife....
@81essentials misguided? do you know how a democracy works? uneducated? over 25% of OWSers are college grads... they only want less corporate greed and a more transparent government. If you understand the extent to which corporations can influence government there is no way you can think that what they're doing is a bad thing.
@prieto21 Polls and statistics are amazing things. 75% of the time, a significant portion of purported facts are 50% wrong and at least 50% right. Which means half of all polls can easily be summed up in one word. Bullshit.
Regardless. An education does not secure intelligence or allow for a basic understanding of complex problems. These people blame "Wall Street" for their problems. Most of them need only look in the mirror to find the person to blame.
@81essentials I'm not against this, but I can't be for it.... not while I wear the flag upon my shoulders.THE FLAG IS BULLSHIT GENIUS,It's used to control the slaves by mad dogs.You are lied to constantly & what's funny is you believe the lies & bullshit you are told. These cops are scumbag pieces of shit-throwing grenades AT FUCKING WOMEN & skinny ass protesters who weigh 120 pounds? Fucking cowards. Send that corrupt crooked power hungry punk cowards to Iraq & see how brave they are there.Scum
@81essentials You don't have to wear a patch on your arm to know what is right or wrong. I too once wore the same and thank God we live in freedom but when you Sir stand in my way of that, I shoot back!
I think it's sad that our city officials put our police in jeopardy dealing with these wacked out kids. I hear by your voice that you enjoyed making this video, but what you can do to be fair is record some of the going ones in local restaurants where these kids are destroying bathroom and bothering customers. Many are wacked out on drugs and pot.
I don't see anything wrong with this video. In the begin you can hear the police on loud speakers saying they will use gas, but the protesters still stand around. As far as throwing the gas in the group of people trying to get the guy out. That officer probably freaked out. You see fourteen people bunch up and get ten feet away at protest, I would be thinking they are going to rush me.
Shame! Shame on the police. The American people should ask the UN for protection just like they did in Libya . That footage was like something out of the west bank .
Someone should walk around NYC holding a full length mirror up to the cops. Maybe if they saw their own eyes in those monkey-suits , something inside those 'ice machines' would change.
I wonder if they would be so hasty shooting themselves in the mirror???
the man fought for our country. the police are cunts who think they are the shit but in reality they are the ones who stay here and act all tough. fuck them. i hope the protests start getting violent n the police get their asses handed to them.
@ayangaes yeah....that last line you just said is pretty fucking retarded. because first.....the police would win. and second you are probably just a liberal idiot who doesn't even know what these "occupy" protests are about. thirdly, you should probably gtfo you anarchist motherfucker.
@paintman65. There IS a message, as a matter of fact, a DAMN GOOD ONE and it is also posted on YouTube, you should look it up next and listen to it. I believe 'General assembly statement' may find it for you. But I will find and post a keyword to get you to it shortly....
I see some good points on both sides of this argument, but I see a lot of dumb points too. YES we should be protesting. NO we shouldn't be defacing buildings with spray paint or trashing the streets, leaving drug paraphernalia behind. BUT all of you that say we shouldn't be in the streets, exercising our rights, trying to bring down these corrupt conglomerations and politicians.... GROW SOME BALLS AND READ YOUR HISTORY BOOKS. We must do something!
This is wrong. Period. You can call us dirty hippies or whatever names you want to (and try and take away our humanity by lumping us all together in one big group), and you can rationalize the actions of the police all you want, but at the end of the day, shooting another human being in the skull and critically wounding him is WRONG. And then to see them trying to prevent others from giving medical attention to a wounded person is just so horribly upsetting on top of all that.
You know... I don't agree with that officer who threw the flashbang or the one that shot him. They were both acting completely out of line.
But you have to agree, being in a situation like that, whether or not they were using lethal force on either side, builds up a lot of stress, and when you see a group of protesters running toward one spot in front of you, adrenaline takes over and your first thought would be to defend yourself.
Once again, I do not support his actions, and he has no excuse.
there is no marine, The guy wearing the uniform with the flag is in the Navy. I personally did not see the flash bang shot but i saw it thrown if it had be shot he would've been dead for sure. As far as the protest there are other ways to do this rather than rally up and and cause chaos. If they had taken different routes there would be no police involve to do this.
i only hit the like button because i want people to see how asinine police are... they act as if they are the reason there is safety in our country... they only cause havoc and bring down the low and middle class people
Whenever the grenade hit the ground, someone should of put their shoe or a towel over it, Since all it does is release mid level velocity rubber balls, it would just stop.
i hope that police man got charged. I dont get why he threw tear gas at innocent people who were trying to help someone. Pretty f-ing stupid of that police man.
That's FUCKED up! A marine standing up for what he believes in, shot defending the very thing he serves this country for. People have fucked of views of right and wrong and this shows you nothings truly "free" and certain organizations/ groups ( names withheld) are corrupt and may even commit more crimes and wrong-doings than those they put away.
You don't seem to understand. Our masters have no understanding, they don't care about you. They send drones, clones and mindless slaves at you. You can't expect any logical response or reaction from zombies. Just stay strong and prepare yourselves better. Just a word of warning, during protests in Serbia during 90ties, there were several experiments. One of with hyperinflation and the other with riots. Both seem to now be happening in your country. It was a slaughter in our country, so prepare.
Occupy protesters need a life. Go out and make your dreams happen instead of trying to bring someone else down who you are jealous of thinking that the world owes you something.
@glali07 atleast have half a clue of what you are talking about before posting, you know, so you wont look like such an ass, they are not protesting the free market, they are protesting the rigged market being manipulated by criminals, but your the moron who will continually go back to the same rigged card game getting your money stoled from you over and over and over again, they are also protesting against corporations unelectedly having total control over government
@chibears26 Some are corrupt, you're right. But no corporation ever pushed the button for me to vote, nor anyone else. If you have an issue with campaign contributions you're barking up the wrong tree. It should be called Occupy White House instead of Occupy Wall Street. Obama got more in campaign financing from Wall St than any other candidate in history. No one ever "stoled" my money, either. And when you said "your the moron"... its technically "you're the moron". Ok, moron?
@glali07 well clearly you lack any common sense, obviously it is impossible to steal directly from every single person of the 300+ million people in america. its the money laundering to off shore accounts, rebundling and selling bad mortgages to unaware buyers, the federal reserve constantly printing billions of counterfeit money which only devalues money which in that case does effect all 300+ million people. corporations have unlimitd control over government that goes way beyond contributions.
@chibears26 So your resolution is to minimize government as much as possible, right? I mean with the gov't doing only what they are supposed to do which is protect us (military, cops, fire fighters, etc) they wont have the room to make all these mistakes and be corrupted, right? You ever wonder if Clinton didnt pressure banks, Freddie and Fannie, that the mortgage collapse would have never happened. Like i said earlier, you're barking up the wrong tree. Blame gov't
@glali07 different times, different circumstances, right now corporations and banks (not all, the big mega ones) are the government. everything corporations and banks are doing today was illegal only 10 years ago, through lobbying and having goldman sachs, AIG, etc. CEO's be appointed as the presidents advisors has allowed them to pass laws making all the illegal things they do now legal. just because they write up some BS law does not mean it is legal ........... continued in next message......
@glali07 ........contiuned part 2 of last message..... not mean its legal, they can pass a law saying the sky is green, that doe not mean the sky is green.
@MellowYellowXJ Yeah because servicemen don't deserve their constitutional right of freedom of speech and assembly. What the heck was he thinking?? Risking his life as a serviceman AND civil protestor to defend our constitutional rights only to have a pathetic punk sitting on his rear end at a computer try to deny him that right. You like totalitarianism so much, I am sure you can find somewhere else to live. They are protesting corporations being given the constitutional rights of citizens.
@RudyBlueDog its the fact that hes PROTESTING IN UNIFORM... punishable under UCMJ..... IM A FUCKING SOLDIER and you dont see me PROTESTING IN UNIFORM!
you 'people' claim to be doing "GOOD" but all you are doing is TRASHING OUR STREETS, leaving syringes behind from drugs. you spray paint our public buildings... what good are you doing. you are bring the riot police on yourselfs. I understand being Fed up with the GOVERNMENT... I am. but your pissed because people are successful? SO GO TO WORK!
@MellowYellowXJ You are a soldier - act like one. You shouldn't be cussing like a 12 year old in a public forum. You call the protestors 'people' in quotes - are you implying they aren't people. They are protesting the ABUSES of Wallstreet, who are successful in the way pirates are successful. I am a small business owner. I employ 7 other people. What do YOU contribute outside of drunken ranting? Oh yeah, you get paid tax dollars paid in part by the protesters. No wonder you don't care.
@RudyBlueDog I have worked for SEVERAL small businesses. The reason THEY ARE NOT GROWING is due to UNFAIR TAXES.... Pull your head out of your ass, look at the big picture. The GOVERNMENT says they offer 'tax incentives' but yet the small businesses taxes goes up. DONT BLAME all these problems on WALLSTREET. Blame it on unfair advantages from the GOVERNMENT....
@RudyBlueDog I have worked for several small businesses i left one because they could not afford to give me a raise. i was working my ass off for minimum wage. the reasoning is because THE GOVERNMENT taxes small business to much. not WALLSTREET... quit blaming half the nations problems on the successful business i.e. Apple, Microsoft, and other actually successful businesses. Wallstreet didnt do the BAILOUTS did they? so why blame it on WALLSTREET you should be out in front of the WHITE HOUSE..
@RudyBlueDog funny how the laws and rights you support,you want enforced,and the ones you dont...well,and as far as the corporations being"given" the contitutional rights of citezens,maybe they should march on WASHINGTON,where the policy's you are against are made...and here's a hint..if you want support..have a COHERENT message
@paintman65 The fact that you have not informed yourself outside of Fox news headlines does not mean there is no coherent message. But the fact that you don't understand how corporations are given human constitutional rights tells me you need to do a little work before anyone can have a coherent discussion with you.
@RudyBlueDog you assume because i dont agree with you i MUST be a fox news junkie with one side of the story,pretty closed minded on your part,and again,if you want change..go to washington where the laws that allow the things you are against are made.And let me amend my previous statement...A realistic and coherent message.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Doesn't matter. Denying direct orders from police = shot in the face by a canister. You go to a protest with police, you better as well damn expect some danger or putting your life at risk if something were to go wrong. That was his decision.
You say he was standing around doing nothing. Well veteran or not the police on the video clearly ordered people to disperse from the street, he remained standing there ignoring the police. The man in the video said there were not rocks or bottles being thrown at the police yet it shows CS gas canisters being thrown back at the police. An note like all explosives sometimes a round has a short fuse and goes off too soon. It's sad a vet was hurt, though at the same time he refused to move
why? why should anyone be afraid of the police? he exercising his right to peacefully assemble and did nothing wrong. the police are supposed to protect and serve the people [especially protesters!], but their training has warped their perspective to see civilians as enemies.
@HykCraft no, two wrongs don't make a right. he didn't break any laws, he was standing there, which is his first amendment right which is above the orders of the police. the police made up the rules as they went, and even worse, shot a flash bang grenade at the group who rushed to his rescue, who were clearly of no threat to the police.
you don't deserve your freedom if you believe such idiotic things.
@asher2789 just an unbiased question. how can you be so sure it was clear there was no threat. you see a large group of people gather together a couple yards away from you? i'm gonna assume there could be danger. whether or not he saw the injured fellow on the ground is beyond you and i.
@HykCraft The police do not make laws; they enforce exist ones.
The reason for the second ammendment is so that the people shall be able to abolish the government by use of lethal force if it becomes despotic and impervious to any other means of change. You are advocating despotism; if you get your way I hope you're prepared for the consequences: violent revolution.
The correct response to this would have been to call in the national guard and apprehend the police officers involved.
@HykCraft he didn't really use any violence though did he? just bcus u are denying direct orders doesn't mean they should just pound you with a canister right to the face or head.
Sounds like bonfire night in the UK

@dalekyarng The marine HAS a job, you moron, he's an EMPLOYED ENGINEER. He was not running, you lying POS. And the police can't possibly justify shooting him in the head from point blank range, much less throwing a flash grenade at those who rushed to help him. "Violating the law" or not, lethal force was not justified.

It's sad to see so much hate between fellow men. You all chose to put down the protestors and many of you go as far as wishing death upon them. Spouting vulgar remarks and labeling people as idiots, hippies, scum bags, etc makes us no better than animals, and even then animals aren't as hateful creatures as everyone has become. These are people are simply fighting for what they believe is right. What, like YOU have never acted out before? Too much superiority complexes going on here. Truly sad.

That does not give you or anybody else to take a man's life, even though man can sometime be uneducated and fight for reasons that are unreasonable, but this man was not fight, nor was he acting upon violence, there is no reason for him to be shot by a weapon that can kill upon impact, A rubber bullet would have been fine, but using a grenade launcher pointed at someone point blank is an intent to kill.

@dalekyarng Thank you for your service but your mind is screwed up. The powers that be lied to you when you enlisted. Didn't they? They lied to the Marines when they sent you to Vietnam, They lied to you as to why we fought the first Gulf war. They lied to you when you went into Iraq. They lied to you when they told you how long you would be there, right? For you to say a Marine ran into a bullet is sick. Are you saying we had over 4,000 dead in Iraq because the Marines ran into Iraqi bullets.

The fact is, Soldiers aren't defenders of the people, we are defenders of the constitution. The people, quite frankly, are incidental. As cold as that sounds, the constitution is the mechanic designed to protect the people, we are mere enforcers of that mechanic.

And then to see them trying to prevent others from giving medical attention to a wounded person is just so horribly upsetting on top of all that.

But you have to agree, being in a situation like that, whether or not they were using lethal force on either side, builds up a lot of stress, and when you see a group of protesters running toward one spot in front of you, adrenaline takes over and your first thought would be to defend yourself.
Once again, I do not support his actions, and he has no excuse.
