Raw Video: Vet Injured During Oakland Protests

[slayersgnome]

@NativeSunBear flaming bees, effective anti swat weapon

[mindylinky]

I think he is awake now

[dianarachelb]

On top of it the police are much less collecting OVER-TIME pay for obviously using excessive force against un-armed, peaceful, demonstrators including this poor VETERAN! When police shoot tear gas into a crowd of demonstrators they cause mayhem and injury - end of story.

[56rube]

Its interesting how some of these people have posted that this movement has peacefully gathered. Not one protest has been peacefull and many now are being financed by organizations like the X acorn with moneys collected in cities telling people that it is for police officers and teachers to keep their jobs and using it to fund these protest. It is a complete sham. The governments of each town should wipe you off the streets.

[dianarachelb]

It doesn't matter if he tripped on his shoe lace and hit his head on the sidewalk! The point is, the police WORK for THE CIVILIAN people of America! They WORK for us! They should NOT even BE THERE, until they are CALLED to HELP - NOT HURT. These good Americans are voicing their FIRST AMENDMENT right to assemble.

[56rube]

If you break the law you are going to get arrested and you might even get shot. It does not matter if you are an x president or an x vet, many x vets have broken the law and killed for doing so. This is the US of America, not france and it will never be. It is a great example how our police forces are keeping our streets safe from thugs and violators. You dont like the country go to france. Good for the cops.

[conspr33]

@56rube The only thugs and violators are the corporations and politicians that give the orders to the police...My civic duty is to change this country not flee it fucker....

[56rube]

@conspr33

Thank you for your response, your response says it all, exactly who you and your group are. Not American by any stretch of the imagination, Keep talking, you are the best proof of lowlyself.

[grayburst]

I would say that is excessive force. And to see a fellow vet put down for excercising the freedoms he fought to defend injuried in such a way, is infuriating. And I don't even politically agree with these people. But they have the right to assembly and protest. Now the police look like gestapo and heavy handed idiots because leadership did not put decent rules of conduct on the ground for the police.

[fathom1313]

Can someone tell me where in the video it shows the guy being hit with anything? I just don't see it...

[masterman3178]

@daser1220 yea and we have the right to peacfully assemble and thats what they where doing till the police desided to flash bang unarmed people.the kid with head injurys just got back from his second tour in iraq with no injurys only to come back to country he fought for and get injuryed. Your the type of people who sit back and let this country rape you of your rights your the problem.

[masterman3178]

it would be scary to get hit with a tear gas cannister, it would be more scary after it happen to have strangers carry you screaming medic.

[wReCktangle]

Steps to self-fulfilling "police state" prophecy:

Step 1) Proclaim we're in a police state!

Step 2) Do illegal shit that gets police called.

Step 3) Cry when police respond to afore mentioned 'illegal shit'.

Done.

[hornsbygator1]

Any one with your bullshit comments.

[hornsbygator1]

All you cops and right wing corporate sluts are not foolin

[wideawake123]

Fucking drama-queens.

[Illkiron]

congrats OPD, you lost the game.

[Blackmailman]

how the fuck you gunna put an ad on this shit? Troublesome mindset

[McMeevin]

@Blackmailman A battlefield one at that.

[akula1085]

No one wants to see someone get hurt, especially not a vet, but on the other hand....don't antagonize the f'n police and this wouldn't happen...

[rjsfr]

FUCK UP THEM PO PO'S

[rjsfr]

BOMB ON THE POLICE

[GodKillerAtheist]

Violence is the only answer. Kill the 1%

[K0ng2010]

Good role model for the world?

[MaladaptiveCatalyst]

call amber lamps

[kamalalovely]

This is an outrage. 

[NewWaveFan1]

Oakland is a fuckshots paradise.

[eddo1983]

If you defend the police that do this you are a flaming bag of shit and I hope you get stepped on. We are taught to respect these people when we are kids but as we grow older we notice we've been lied to.

[azis1100]

Dear Police,

As a person, being where I have the legal right to be...

If you hit me with "less lethal" ammunition, be advised it is not "non-lethal" and is subject to my discretion of threat on one's life. That being of legal standing, if you fire upon me, I will be compelled to return fire as I see fit. AS IS MY RIGHT!!!

"Citizens may resist unlawful arrest to the point of taking an arresting officer's life if necessary." Plummer v State This premise was upheld by the Supreme Court of the US.

[DALLASxVENOM]

The beginning of the video sounded like some shit off of star wars

[thedon11368]

Recall mayor jean quantity

[GypsyMofakka]

RECALL Mayor Jean Quan !!!

[warrenroche]

When you set out to find your "Kent State" moment, sooner or later, you find it!

[kamalalovely]

@warrenroche I hope I am wrong, but I have a feeling before this is all over, Kent State is going to look like a hill of beans. No disrespect to those who lost their lives, of course.

[visceralguy]

That's the title of the video!

[visceralguy]

Oakland Policeman Throws Flash Grenade Into Crowd Trying To Help Injured Protester

Check out the vid!

[visceralguy]

Ok, I just rechecked and it's unsure who hit him initially but it clearly shows who hit him the 2nd time.

[visceralguy]

Unclear who threw it?!?!? Check again AP! There's a video on Youtube that shows who did it! It was a police officer!!!!

[elkkid2]

They need to be SUED into the Ground!

[danielito8282]

Dr. MAX Medict. From city of joy he will help you :)

[SuperAnnoyingtroll]

Lmfao. See you in Hell, Bitch.

[GamingPalooza]

I'll be honest, when I first started watching this video, I thought I was watching something in Iraq or Afghanistan. What the fuck is going on in this damn country? Seriously

[LuckyMarketGameplay]

creepy

[schwartsbruder]

Down with wall-street finance oligarchy!

[schwartsbruder]

Not to be rude or anything but the people yelling medic sounds like TF2.

[schwartsbruder]

Damn the US turning into afghanistan.

[starksy17]

so much love on this earth lately..

[Icix1]

he served his country twice overseas, just to come back here and get fucked up by his own people, the very people supposed to protect him

[JogBird]

shit just got reel

[peaceonhotdogs]

"Bad Boys, Bad Boys ... wha' ya' gonna' do, wha' ya' gonna do when they come for YOU???"

[vycaso]

Thats sad the Iraqi war veteran was hit in the head with a tear gas canister thats got to hurt.

[BillyInnes]

Drama

[nissanlover]

arm yourselves and fight back. you have the right to protect yourself exercise it, and make the piggies squeal

[Fizzydog77]

Wait, where is this happening? I haven't heard of this! Why is it not being reported?

Associated Press seems to be the best newsgroup out there.

[einLesenderArbeiter]

@Fizzydog77 it happened in oakland california and al jazeera and RT already reported on it hours ago.

[SmurfSmurf701]

@Fizzydog77 Russia, today is. they cover this all day long.

[slytherinspy1960]

@Fizzydog77 concerning protests in your own country (no matter which country you live in) it is always wise to go to outside sources.

[chonny1987]

despicable...

[IamYoddle]

First they send him off to a stupid war in Iraq and then to thank him, they shoot him with a tea gas can. So Kind <3

[MrNoogz]

So the US has officially become a warzone!!! Seek the Most High now!!!

[rfl133]

@MrNoogz AMEN SEEK THE MOST HIGH NOW PEOPLE THAT'S THE LAST THING "THEY" WANT.

[Slapnuts6931]

I bet that taught him a darn good lesson. 

[Illkiron]

I bet it was the police

[SketchyHippopotamus]

@Illkiron it was, he was hit in the head by a tear gas canister

[Illkiron]

@SketchyHippopotamus yeah, but again the media can always deceive us: "It's unclear what the object was or who threw it." FUCK CORPORATE MIDIA!

[SmurfSmurf701]

Revolution is here, and yet were all just watching and doing nowthing, well all but a few.

[landlogger]

aRE THEY WEARING BAdGES??

[Hellodentist]

It was a tear gas canister and it was launched by OPD.

[TheKidkayoz]

@Hellodentist yep, that's what I was thinking or maybe they shot him with a bean bag at close range.

[yomammaspoodle]

isn't there a little something called right of assembly in this country? fucking assholes, I hope next time a riot control cop dies

[TrickyState]

WTF
