Aerial view of tear gas crowd dispersal - Occupy Oakland

[Sparklez108]

THANK YOU! ktvu took this footage down from their website! (i posted a link directly to it on my fcbk a few hours after it was on their website [same night of the incident], and now the link is *invalid* and i can't find it ANYwhere in their video archive section) so THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! there is NO OTHER *aerial footage* that shows the *silence/stillness* BEFORE the tear gas is launched. THANK YOU!!

[Michael3752]

@fappeh Yep, America isn't all green grass laden with happy people at every turn either...we have as much a police state as practically any other country, if not worse.

[bravocmdr]

Am i the only one who loves to watch the crowd disperse and see the gas filling the area?

[ERAUPRCWA]

unlawful assembly? huh? so when did it become a crime to protest in America?

[pauloscum]

@ERAUPRCWA it isnt... if u check the legal sxystem has 2 seperate entities... common law the law of the land (which actually holds power) & maritime or admiralty or corperate law... which doesnt mean shit without ur consent, this peratains to acts ie the misuse of drugs act or the patriot act & requires the consent of the governed to hold power... that means u!!!!! acts are not laws they are in essence contracts & a contract has to have both parties in agreement!!! sneakey eh,,,,,

[Bonesmann1]

"FLASHBANG!!!!" NOT a smoke grenade!!

[ERAUPRCWA]

@Bonesmann1 they used both...

[Bonesmann1]

at 44 seconds you can see Scott Olsen(bottom left) get hit by a flashbang and fly 20-25 ft

[votingronpaul2008]

However, if the assembly was NOT unlawful, each one of the officers is culpable for failing to intervene by ignoring and/or fighting this "order to disperse":

"Failure to Intervene

Officers have a duty to protect individuals from constitutional violations by fellow officers. Therefore, an officer who witnesses a fellow officer violating an individual's constitutional rights may be liable to the victim for failing to intervene."

Title 42, of the United States Code. Section 1983

[pauloscum]

@votingronpaul2008 um yes granted but fundamental common law takes precedence in the states im afraid so while intervening the police may not physically touch anybody who has not caused harm loss or injury or they are committing assault. people are allowed to peqacefully assemble to protest & even if the police send in agent provocatuers they still dont get to break it up!!!!! if they even so much as lay one finger on a peaceful protester that IS assault.

[HowToGamerz]

When the chopper zooms in on the small crowd huddling around after the first wave of gas, they were trying to help a marine who was hit directly by a tear gas grenade, the marine was also hit by a flashbang, I believe he was also shot. That's complete bullshit how that cop threw a flashbang at a seriously injured protestor.

[timstillinghast]

@ 5:20 , is that a drone?

[pauloscum]

again we see the police breaking the law & acting as armed terrorists.

[segarza]

Unlawful assembly?? In what way? The cops show up armed and ready for war but the protesters are being unlawful?

[pauloscum]

@segarza no they werent unlawful in any way... ur rite illegal maybe but not unlawful unlawful pertains to common law which btw takes precedence. common law states unless u cause harm loss or injury to another human being the police cannot touch u. they have statuted violation perhaps but the thing about statutes is they require public consent to inpose... "consent of the governed" these people werent governed & never gave consent.

[ROCKSTARVOCALIST]

@pauloscum FYI: Anyone can be taken into custody and detained by police for up to but no more than 72 hrs in most states without being charged. They could charge everyone of them with Interfearing with official acts and criminal mischief for failure to comply with a lawful order "these people werent governed & never gave consent" Really? By being in the city,Gives consent to be governed by the laws and ordinances thereof.

[pauloscum]

@ROCKSTARVOCALIST lol detained unlawfully.. kidnapped!!! all of the bullshit u mentioned are statutes not laws!!!! & um no u dont give consent lawfully until you say you understand which blacks law dictionary b(5th edition) defines as stand under or recognise statutory authority. look it up retard... i suggest you read up before you attempt to enter into lawful discourse with somebody who has a degree of education.

[ROCKSTARVOCALIST]

@pauloscum ignorance of the law, statutes, and ordinances is the excuse ? HAHAHA To even suggest that the occutards didn't understand police in riot gear ordering them to "Dispurse or chemical agents will be used" is laughable. "Consent of the Governed" is why the satutes and ord. are passed by the city council. Ya know, The reps. of the people in said city. Get it? probably not. So you can take that degree in ed. and wipe your ass with it as that is all it is good for. Nice try though

[pauloscum]

@ROCKSTARVOCALIST no my point is the policfe dont get to do that shit!!! they dont just get to try & make up what the law is!!!! they certainly dont get to order people who caused niether loss harm nor injury to anybody to do fucking anything!!!! lmfao u retarded dumb fuck sheep!!!! these jumped up little hitlers with thier riot shields need to get it thru thier thick fucking skulls they r public servants!!! no consent was given so no statute holds power!!! THAT IS THE LAW!!!! dumbass...

[pauloscum]

Respond to this video... high court judges have been imprisoned for refusing to produce oath so why u even tryina front!!!! lmfao a statute is (now pay attention here) a contract... it requires not the consent of ur representative but u personally because it pertains to the legal fiction that exists on paper & in order to hold power they have to get u to qadmit that that legal fiction is YOU!!!! watch?v=V0IM7Hobd_k watch that & stfu.

[ROCKSTARVOCALIST]

@pauloscum So now the Judge has to follow the letter of the law is that it? HAHAHAHA Judges interpret the law/stat/ord/reg and make a judgement from the interpretaion thereof......If your so confident. Then go rep. those Occutards arrested. See how that works out for ya.

[pauloscum]

@ROCKSTARVOCALIST as outlined in the video i kindly supplied u... covering the actual law here is the actual footage of the judge being arrested for failing to accord with common law as outlined under the treaty of magna carter. watch?v=P-PWwG8pMyU as i was saying. we hold the power. admiralty law requires our direct consent & pertains to the legal fiction. there ya go... enjoy actually watching a judge get arrested before your very eyes. thats the law dude!!! its on our side!!!

[ROCKSTARVOCALIST]

@pauloscum "thats the law dude!!! its on our side!!! "

Keep telling yourself that while you put children infront of doors to block people in buildings, intentionally block street intersections so people can not drive on the roadways, becoming the tyrants you say you dispise. Occucrite, Is that a new word I just created? Occucrite LOL

[pauloscum]

@ROCKSTARVOCALIST well are we to continue to let criminals steal from us & demand our silence while angrily waving battens? we have to put an end to these fucks & if we have to drag the rest of u idiots kicking and screaming into an age of civilisation & economic stability so it!!!! we are as previously stated not breaking any laws however illegally we may or may not be acting. theres basically nothing any1 can do to stop us without breaking the law!!! thats the bottom line.

[ROCKSTARVOCALIST]

@pauloscum You are you saying you will force others into your way of thinking kicking and screaming, whether they like it or not? Accompanied by your idea of civilization and economics put in place through force. You just proved yourself a Socialist. Who the Hell do you think you are to force anything on anyone else? You preach Freedom, Then want to enslave? Occucrite.

[pauloscum]

@ROCKSTARVOCALIST what we are forcing on every1 else is that the police arent hired thugs & the bank dont act as an unelected shadow government stealing the wealth of our children!!! what we are forcing on everybody else is not being cattle slaughtered in pointless wars so a few fat fucks can steal oil or heroin... not having to take blood tests & having ur junk groped by tsa wen ur buying groceries. what we are forcing on everybody else is financial stability! i see nothing wrong with this.

[pauloscum]

@ROCKSTARVOCALIST how did the states beat the engliss aristocracy last time? was it thru the right to bear arms (tho that obv helped) or was it thru knowing the law? the battle was won in the courts!!!! there are far greater weapons & far greater means of attack to be found in legislature.

[LevSix]

American hero @ 0:45

[Michael3752]

WOW, is this REALLY in America and not in Syria or Greece?! The police's action here is simply corrupt and abusive as hell. 

[shortcircuit925]

the news says rubber bullets

[tjlee0912]

Its looks like a fucking warzone

[MMIIXX]

@tjlee0912 because it is !

[verum123]

I wonder who will help us through this night? It's so cold, and so dark here!

[chemochinga]

RAIDER NATION!!!

[TheItchyFetus]

@wwenexus789 just like your dad did you?

[Kelagon2]

Scott Olson hit in the face at 43 seconds.

[MorrockW]

I don't get it, unlawful assembly? What's fucked up is that assembly can be considered unlawful.

[isrp14]

Looked like something hit him at 1:40.

[LightRifles]

Ahh it seems they were warned and given 5 minutes to prepare, well children you see what happens when you don't read the warning label.

[idahodrgnflyz]

At 45sec you can see, Iraq war veteran, Scott Olsen fall. He is near the police line (at white line nearest to police.) Blessings to you Scott, you are a hero.

[LightRifles]

Lol like cockroaches when the lights turn on, you can see the puddles of urine pouring out of these pogs.

[Generaallucas]

@buyguns1 Long live the 53%, then.

[avedic]

its time we pick up rocks

[jennodine]

OH so I see it's OK for the corporate media to stand in the area, but the citizens are not. Thank you channel 2 and Oakland PD for providing further proof that we, the people, are living in a police state in America.

[MrTheperson101]

trees. OMG!

[kingwarth]

YES, these jack-booted THUGS are attacking these young people exercising lst Amendment rights to protest a CORRUPT government. And YES, the cops WANT riots so they can declare martial law to confiscate all guns.

[JBCSpokane]

Hahaha! way to clear a ONE intersection...What an amaaazzzing victory. lol.

[recondo82nd]

@JBCSpokane

Right on, I would of went old school and used the water cannons followed by the baton squad on horse back.

[hack2makelivesbetter]

Scott Olsen was shot and has a two inch skull fracture. He is currently unconscious and fighting for his life. He survived two tours in Iraq only to be shot by the cops in Oakland. DISGRACE

[recondo82nd]

@hack2makelivesbetter

Check your info retard. The injured vet was a female dah!! And her service in Iraqi was non combat. If you losers actually got out of your parents basements and got jobs instead of free loading and expecting hand outs while you do nothing but smoke dope and play video games then maybe we wouldn't have to gas your ass. Breaking the law is braking the law weather your a vet or not.

[hack2makelivesbetter]

@recondo82nd Check the facts again. HIS name is Scott Olsen and he received brain damage from the incident and can no longer speak. I have a wife, 4 kids, own my own home and have served 8 years in the Army with an Honorable Discharge in 2000. If you were any kind of soldier, you would be as mad as the rest of us vets. Scott was defending his Country in front of that police firing squad. Calling me a loser doesn't bother me. Calling him one just makes you a scumbag.

[ROCKSTARVOCALIST]

@hack2makelivesbetter Bullshit! Olsen's duty as a US citizen was to obey the lawful orders of police and dispurse. Of which he did not.. It doesn't matter If he disagreed with those orders and believed them unlawful.

If Olsen believed they were unlawful orders it is not his right to take the law into his own hands.

[hack2makelivesbetter]

@ROCKSTARVOCALIST Spoken like a true blue fascist police officer. He was acting as a real soldier who swore an oath to defend America from all threats both foreign and domestic. When our leaders boldly sh*t on our constitution, they are committing treason and become Domestic Enemies. His duty is to obey lawful orders? Read the Constitution (especially the part about freedom to assemble) and you would understand they are not "lawful orders" but violations of our basic CIVIL RIGHTS.

[ROCKSTARVOCALIST]

@hack2makelivesbetter First off his right to assemble does not give him right to break other laws in the process. The crowd was warned to dispurse numerous times, If his opinion is the leaders as you put it are treasonous. He is to go through the proper chain of command filing his grievence. Isn't that correct? As a real soldier wouldn't he have known where disobeying a Lawful order would land him? Whether or not You or He agree the order lawful or unlaw is not your call .( cont)

[ROCKSTARVOCALIST]

@hack2makelivesbetter (cont.) or his call. that is up to a judge. He disobeyed the police impeading on the rights of others. Becoming a occucrite. (Occucrite defined: An Occupier that believes everyone other than their group have to follow laws, ordinance, and statutes, while becoming the Tyrants they claim to be protesting.)  Now we will see if he is a "REAL" soldier as you put it. Do soldiers file civil lawsuits against the enemy for wounds recieved during battle? "REAL"We will see won't we

[hack2makelivesbetter]

@ROCKSTARVOCALIST The problem is that The Supreme Court Judges are the ones that said corporations are people and can give politicians whatever they want. The Right to Assemble states that we have a right to assemble in public space and that no actions can be taken to circumvent that right. (ie. taking their property, can't put your sign on the ground, no tents, etc.) Scott Olsen was unarmed and standing still some 25 feet away from the cops. BAD COPS.........NO DONUT 4 U

[ROCKSTARVOCALIST]

@hack2makelivesbetter Obviously you haven't been paying attention. You obviously think you live in a Democracy. Well you don't and never have..

An occupier was asked by an interviewer what the cops did to him? and he said. "they took his tent, and his stuff, and put it in a garbage truck and took it to the dump. The interviewer replied, Redistribution of wealth is a bitch......

[hack2makelivesbetter]

@ROCKSTARVOCALIST I pledge allegiance to the flag, of the United States of America.And to the REPUBLIC for which it stands.

[ROCKSTARVOCALIST]

@hack2makelivesbetter And the Republic's law enforcement authorities, that are put into place by elected officials lawfully ordered these people to Dispurse. Whether you believe it to be lawful is of no matter. Like I said It is not up to you. The Occupiers have proven to be nothing more than a bowel movement of lawless anarchist scum. Sounds to me like you believe the right to assemble supersedes any other law. It does not. . Do you deny That their actions are a hazard to others?

[eseoficial]

@hack2makelivesbetter ur name, username is the name of the rebellion how can you support the shadow government. when your implying you love the United States. Welcome to the Fascist's States of America NDAA will take us in, FEMA will Kill us and trap the unhealthy, SOPA, ACTA,PIPA, will stop us from communication. I hope you love your antifreedom government, as for me i will rebel always, against the tyranny that was brought to us through money.

[VampireLincoln]

My father died as a Navy Seal with multiple high profile engagements and he would be out there protesting if he were still alive...It's sad to think my father died to protect those few "interest" instead of the american people.

To all the people out there protesting I salute you. To those thowing back the tear gas canister I say Thank You with the biggest smile on my face. I wish I was out there to help out...

[PlanetEarthAwakens01]

@VampireLincoln Well said.

[recondo82nd]

@VampireLincoln

Yea right and my mother was a green beret get a life jackass. Half of the OPD are former SEALS, Rangers, ETC. How about you losers go home and actually try looking for a job.

[NoNORADon911]

@recondo82nd Is that you Dickhead Cheney? Time for your meds sir.

[firestorm117]

@VampireLincoln Something tells me your father would be proud of soldiers like Scott Olsen and children such as yourself.

[LTVinciti]

@VampireLincoln Then why arent you? Youre youtube comment isnt doing shit...Im sure youre father is ashamed youre sitting here on Youtube preaching his greatness instead of getting off your ass and doing something...

[VampireLincoln]

@LTVinciti I'm currently studying in Chile...hence the "I wish I was out there..." retard.

[biketourist60]

Time to dust off the Buffalo Springfield song, "For What It's Worth": "Time to stop, hey, what's that sound, everybody look what's going down..."

[kamikazewatermelon12]

At 1:51 ish that small group of ppl running to that one spot by the barricade are people trying to help a man named Scott Olsen who was wounded by the cops' attacks. He was dropped to the ground. Once they swarm him and try to pick him up a cop throws a flashbang and disperses the crowd. Leaving the wounded man on ground.

[Encore1234567890]

The more peaceful the resistance, the more violent the response will be.

[Riaswift]

They have the right to a peaceful protest. The cops are the terrorists, I agree. What are they fighting? They are creating the mayhem, not the people occupying. Very telling; all over the world, the state of affairs in a free republic. Once again, the authorities make compete asses of themselves. What the heck are the afraid of?

[Blundergus]

So it's unlawful to peacefully assemble but ok to shoot toxic chemicals at people?

The governments of this world must be dismantled.

[aneondevilbreath]

I hope the parents and other citizens sue the asses off the cops, I think the police should be in jail

[AnimalJihad23]

@aneondevilbreath

We ll bring them all down. Don t worry

[recondo82nd]

@AnimalJihad23

Yea it really looked like you hand the upper hand in this one retard LMAO.

[AnimalJihad23]

@recondo82nd

You have no idea. You think that the only ones protesting are those hippies in the camps. But you do not know about those people who got the identities of the policemen in NYC. All this traitors got want they deserve and the cops in Oakland will be next.

[patricklehman]

The police are servants of the Plutocracy.

[daguylolman]

NEXT TIME: USE HELMET AND GAS-MASK AND DON'T MOVE!!

[rfd177]

it's 1968 all over again

[Thelightofdawnn]

the guy at 0:45 seconds is hella epic for throwing the can back at the police.

[gels71]

@Thelightofdawnn

Comment of the year.

Get someone with a sawsall to cut that Oakland fence bullshit down.

-Boston

[CrookedBeatsInc]

And we expect them to peacefully hand us freedom.

[alhex123]

So it begins.

[NoNORADon911]

@1:00 protesters RESCUE a person in a fucking wheelchair and the asshole POLICE shoot a tear gas canister at the rescue! WTF!?

Next they will shot at AMBULANCES like in Israhell!

[lijkel]

@NoNORADon911 He wasn't in a wheelchair, it was the Iraq veteran (servers 2 tours) who got hit in the head with a gas canister. The people went over to help him then got attacked. He is now in crit condition in hospital. The police are brainwashed sheep!

[aneondevilbreath]

@lijkel yes i believe that cops are having a beat up the people day, instead of being the good guys who are protecting and serving. I don't see this ending anytime soon. but when it does, i think there will be something great to happen..

[NoNORADon911]

@lijkel I saw another video of people getting flashbanged or gassed that was trying to rescue someone in a wheelchair.

[recondo82nd]

@NoNORADon911

Really? Are you sure it wasn't a double amputee world war two vet and medal of honor winner who was holding his infant grand daughter?

[recondo82nd]

@NoNORADon911

Really are you sure it wasn't a double amputee vet from world war two and medal of honor recipient who was holding his infant grand daughter?

[NoNORADon911]

@recondo82nd Whats your point dickface coproach defender? Sieg heil fag.

[Fiorwestcoast]

These police are cowards.

[oaklandbay9800]

you know whats funny how no one wants to mention that the police told the news reporters to turn their cameras off and not to report what was about to happen the bay area news let a image slip onto their broadcast of a man getting beat by about 5 cops he was bloodied in the streets getting dragged away looking terrified where's the report on that. they use flash bangs and rubber shotgun shells then denied using anything but tear gas everybody is watching their rights taken away peacefully. fight

[DANDELIONBURNS]

UN FUCKING LAWFUL ASSEMBALY AND PEOPLE THINK WE ARE FREE!!!awwwwww

[slonamu]

Fight back!

Do not surrender!

[oaklandbay9800]

@slonamu organize use our rights to bear arms come with plans on how to defend ourselfs and to fight back everybody must start fighting back now or we everybody will just peacefully watch their rights taken away since when in america does the government and police have more power then the people we must fight back a protest would not have gotten any country their rights only when they fight back do they earn their rights

[furtherbeyond]

This will only cause more people to converge and protest and it may well become really violent.

[Will224000]

[kreilly7]

when the police raided the plaza for sanitary issues, they actually flipped trash cans and created a sanitary issues. here's a solution to your "sanitary" (political) issue, put porto-pottys in the plaza! fascism at it's finest!

[kreilly7]

thank you soooooo much! finally journalists simply covering the facts, and not trying to provide some sort of spin. love this news story. thank you for not trying to push an opinion on us, just simply telling us what happened and leaving it up to the viewer to formulate their own opinion!

[77772859]

I think real christians should start praying for your country,

[romo502]

it has begun..

[JackFreeman4U]

@romo502 I think Your right.

[driller62869]

unlawful assembly in US means your not free. Its all an Illusion people. Wake up!

[jamphellhamo]

oakland will be on fire soon and it will be the fault of these police - overreating to a "sanitation problem" by using tear gas and bean bag bullets -

[kimintexas]

[LegendaryAsshole]

@buyguns1 A few months ago, police were charged with terrorism for harassing legal pot users. Imagine what prosecutors can do with this.

The police claim its an illegal gathering..but it's protected by the constitution.

[anamericanstory]

Tired of coorperations telling us how to live, about time this happened. Our government has sold us out to the big cooperations, the police are their enforcers.

[recondo82nd]

@anamericanstory

Sorry the govt didn't sell you out and the corporations provide jobs something you don't know the meaning of. And the police protect the rest of us from you losers, so why don't you just move to a country that wont sell you out but take care of your lazy ass. Move to a welfare country. Oh and buy the way since you probably didn't finish high school at least learn how to use your spell checker jackass.

[anamericanstory]

@recondo82nd OK jackass, I have a BS in Chemistry, AAS in Electronics and an AAS In HVAC, grew up in the Army spent 6 years in the USAF as in Tactical Security. Lazy, I own two proftiable companies and I have numerous other accomplishments that you wouldn't understand. The police serve their masters, nothing more, the police are an extention of the state, not up on political science are we? I can understand why YOU need protection, you're a real asshole!!
