1: Peter Scherer sent me a message that led me to edit the language describing this video. The original said Scherer had been hit with a tear gas grenade, which is what I was told by the medic bandaging Scherer's head. Scherer asked me to change it to a projectile shot by police.
2. This is an interview with Peter Scherer, not Scott Olsen. Olsen is the Iraq War Veteran that suffered a skull fracture that night. He is still in the hospital.
I don't know alot about what's going on as I DON"T have a TV brainwashing me but from what I've gathered from hearing people talk & youtube. I am for this movement. I'm glad that people are doing this & standing up against the corp's & government. I love my country, USA, but not my gov't. I used to be 110% hardcore progov't, not anymore, I've seen the truth & am greatly disappointed is US Gov't & corp's. All I can do to help is pray for these folks & our country & pray I will. All America pray!!
Their job is to brutalize peaceful civilians? I worked twelve hours Wednesday Oct. 26, less than 24 hours from getting shot in the head by OPD with a rubber bullet. When was the last time you stood for something you believe in, @brlavend? Why did you take your last sick day?
I'm not the Marine who was injured. I'm not mad. I understand the OPD have mortgages with the same people we are fighting against and children to feed. We (the people of the world) will unite or we will fall.
who is this retard? He wasnt shot in face, he was at the wrong place at the wrong time.. He have no reason to be there , one man wont change the world , Go and be a policeman you little shit ,you dont know how its like Now u have a war wound go and join the army and know how its like to get shot or lose a body part, u little shit blame your parents for not brining u up right not the governament u was drinking and using drugs when a kid and now u want a community , Piss off jerk
@BuffBRockstar Ever hear of a granade launcher you stuffed turkey? Ask a mate to throw a full coke can at your face and see how ti feels.
It's good to see that finally the U.S. citizens have started to wake up, the rest of the world has kinda known for decades what your people are finally starting to get. I don't mean to offend you but it's true, better late than never. We hope atleast, but I fear it's too little and WAAAAYY too late. America might go down in history as the Soviet union #2.
I was there, the night of Oct 25th. This was a thoughtful, peaceful crowd of intelligent people. For no apparent reason to me, the police attacked the crowd and injured some by firing tear gas, flash bombs, and I'm told bean bags and rubber bullets. I saw no cause for the violence whatsoever. I would like to know who gave the order to attack the people? Because the officers were clearly following orders. It was so overblown and downright heinous. I heard they broke a vet's skull today.
"Lol leik, the polic r here to jst shewt ppl in teh face". You people are fucking morons. Police are like any other human beings. Some are good, some are bad. Some sympathize with you, some hate you. Being the lesser beings you are, you're quickly turning your "peaceful protests" into anti-police movements. Putting aside your supposed intended goals to focus on how "the establishment" is out to get you.
@SouthAlabamaGuy Actually the terrorists would appreciate that some of us Americans can act bravely and fight for a righteous cause. The terrorists are known to walk the walk. WE, on the other hand, are known only to talk the talk and then have others walk for us. And then ultimately we renege on our word and abandon them.
to the person or people who want to compare the tea party and the occupiers I would like to say you gotta be kidding right? Everyone knows the tea party is a bunch of republicans who actually seen this coming and just changed the name of their party- they still take bribes- that is all people want is to have our government work for that's right the people not just the rich
I ask alll in this movement to goto the peoples party group on facebook- they list 10 things they want to do. They want to put and end to lobbyist and campaign donations
Most of the 99% know there is a problem or feel the problem. Among us all, education levels vary whether self or formally educated, just as there are varying levels of being informed of current isssues as well as posession of or choice to aquire and use manners & certain social etiiquettes, or not.. Of course these individual characteristics are revealed during our various social interactions, including video interviews such as this one.
Teaparty - against big government Occupy - against big business my thought - aren't they the same isn't the government incorporated, um yes it is Teaparty - against federal reserve and fiat currency Occupy - against world banks and fiat currency my thought - isn't that the same thing Teaparty - against government corruption Occupy - against government corporation by corporations My Thought - Give Occupy a bath, and a few trucks and you got a TEAPARTY! More alike that the media admits.
My name is Alex Emslie, and I shot this video in Oakland last night. Thank you all for the intelligent comments. Please try to maintain a civil discourse. Assuming you know something about the subject of the video, if you've never met him, is short-sighted. So is stooping to that level and engaging that kind of prejudice. Thanks again.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
You guys are all wrong: this dope is a homeless, trust-funded, union-leading jobless teenager who wishes it were the sixties again when he was still a kid.
Scott Olsen was CRITICALLY wounded during this shit raid. Please google his story. He is an Iraq war vet in an induced coma bc of brain swelling that may kill him bc he exercised his god given right to protest. Also youtube "Oakland Policeman Throws Flash Grenade Into Crowd Trying To Help Injured Protester" to see this shit in action. The cops deliberately were injuring these people. post on face book. make this the top comment please.
Go ahead and charge $7500 a lunch Plate, Your a Fascist too Obama, IS WHAT THE MAN SAID> The Tea Party and the Occupy Wall Street people have more in common than most people realize. Both groups Oppose the Federal Reserve and the Current Fiat Money system. Did you know that?
Tea party opposes Big Government WHILE Occupy Wall Street Opposes Big Corporations------ Both are one in the same thing. Big Government is the biggest Corporation of them all, and the most corrupted.
its about evil greedy profits, OOOOOKKKKKKKKK, so I guess you espouse zero sum gains? so basically, your philosophy means that eventually you will starve to death, brilliant
@duanescot Yeah if you forgot how to plant your own food. Did you forget that most of our food comes from the ground freely? So basically, your philosophy means that eventually you will starve to death without profit or corporations deciding on what you should buy? Brilliant!
@duanescot I don't think that's what the movement is about. its not to say that companies don't deserve to make profit. if they didn't do that they wouldn't exist. However, big corporations are able to support politicians that are loyal to them through different means. this causes those politicians to be loyal to the corporations that got them to power and in turn the politicians will do what's best for the corporations and not whats best for the people.
@Scott48Doom It's not about supporting corporations. It's about corporate greed teaming up with political pundits and lobbyists to get people elected. Learn what the movement is about. Everyone needs business and economics to survive in America but we don't need corporate power taking over the government.
@Scott48Doom Oh did you forget that Jobs are scarce out there. The news has been reporting on this every quarter for the past 4yrs... really almost 10yrs...but thats not the point. The point is that even if someone is hiring, it would be a small percentage that is compared to the Large( 100's of thousands if not millions of people) percentage that are officially out of work. So given that, there is probably gonna be that "pothead" thats out of work for you to take the time to comment on.
