  • Members of the military are not allowed to engage in protests, petitions or memorials. Scott Olsen should be ashamed of himelf. He has made the military look bad.

  • @DXTR40

    they are allowed to protest you fucking dumbshit...do ur research first before you deem ANYONE a traitor...

  • @DarkJokerOfAmuro Not in Canada their not. Not really sure why they would be allowed to in America either. It reflects poorly on the country when the people who are supposed to be protecting it are up in arms.

  • Woah woah woah. Back up. Let's look at the time frame around 2:00 into the video. The man is prone on the ground and people rush in to assist. At that point, a police officer throws a riot grenade into the crowd of people beginning to administer care under fire, which detonates not even 5 feet from the injured man. And people assert he got what he deserve?! Am I insane or is that not unnecessary force?!

  • How does shooting tear gas and rubber bullets improve public safety?!!?!?!?

  • @undeadpresident

    "Public safety" meaning rich people feel safe.

    Glad i could help.

  • THERE TRYING TO SAVE AMERICA FROM FALLING BUT THESE FUCKIN POLICE DONT SEE IT!

  • FUCK THE FUCKING POLICE

  • what happens is a bunch of dickhead protesters see the cops standing there in uniform, and so they start taunting them and throwing shit at them..the police are in full gear, and it probably doesn't harm them that much, so, they could show more restraint, but, i guess sometimes they decide to fight back a little if it gets to be too much..i don't see the big fucking deal. i think most of the drama comes from the people who heard the explosion, and didn't see the events that lead to it.

  • @itzahazylife

    Newly surfaced footage clearly proves your statement wrong. The protesters, including Scott Olsen were infact standing completely still, with some of them sauntering around and speaking with one another before having potentially lethal fire arms fired directly at their persons. zEj_4fqDbnM

  • @itzahazylife I feel bad for your lack of knowledge, like the comment above states, a man was injured, when fellow protesters attempt to help him out you CLEARLY see an officer throw a tear gas or flash-bang (I'm not to sure what it was), into the crowd of people.

    The video below shows you in more detail for the people who think that the 99% are in the wrong here. Thank you for your time.

  • /watch?v=OZLyUK0t0vQ

  • this guy is an idiot... Obama is just as much to blame if not more than anyone else for this economy...

  • Maybe governmental solutions are the problem ED!!!! Wake up you socialist

  • I was there about a block from 14th and Broadway at the time when my friend Scott Olsen was struck down by the OPD. Yes they did give us warning, but the cops were not in any danger. Only a few bottles had been thrown and the people throwing them had been confronted by the crowd.

    This guy trying to tie OWS to Obama's "Jobs Bill" is pretty superficial, really. Most of us at OWS don't give a crap about Obama.

  • If they didn't want to get tear gased they should have used a fleeting thing called COMMON SENSE and heeded the warnings by police to dispurse and leave the area. Each protester made the choice to stay, ignoring those orders. Some got hurt. Some got raped. Some broke out windows, some set fires, and some painted graphitti. Some were arrested. What was accomplished? Nothing except proving that less than 1% of the population showed up to occupy. So in fact they are not the 99% they are the .001%

  • Ho-hum. Nothing to see here.

    

  • I guess the cops should have asked him if he did any tours of duty in Iraq before they shot him.

    LOL!!!

    30 years of Republican policies? Uh, let's see. Who's president since 2009? And who was president from 1993 to 2001? And WHO controlled BOTH HOUSES OF CONGRESS from 2006-2010?

    Ed Shulz, you're a fat lying TURD.

  • Lol Ed is such a political hack

  • America is run by an elitist group of corrupt selfish bankers and corp heads. America is fucked unless more of you get out there and SHOW YOUR FUCKING SUPPORT! For fuck sakes we are doing it in Canada! STOP BEING SHEEP!

  • The police should throw rocks and bottles back at them?

  • "War is easy: it's peace that will break your heart." Zed, LoS,S2,E2.

  • way to go , oakland PD. Youve pissed off the only people in the area with more training and hardware than you. Not smart.

  • Scott Olsen doesn't exist.

  • I now support U.S. soldiers using lethal force on the police.

  • @thepuzzleandsolution Don't get upset. FAT Ed pulls this propaganda shit simply for ratings and money. He could give a shit less about who is to blame about unemployment. FAT Ed is a media provocateur already bought and paid for.

  • The ED Show is misleading. He's also bought off. So sad...

  • @chemochinga Yes he is. FAT Ed is another corporate tool.

  • @JamesWRaynor no apologies needed, have a good day too.

  • @JamesWRaynor Sorry, I've been voting 3rd party for going on 10 years now. I didn't endorse Obama last time, and sure as shit won't endorse him this time either. Sorry, but I've been out of the fake ass left / right paradigm for a while now. lol As it stands, I'm liking former sheriff Richard Mack from the Constitution Party. And that's who will get my vote unless someone else proves to be the better candidate. The sooner people vote 3rd party enmasse, the sooner we'll see real change,

  • The left wing and the right wing are just 2 wings on the same bird. Obama is Bush 2.0. Both Obama and Romneys biggest campaign contributor is Goldman Sachs. How anyone could still support Obama, or any establishment republican is just baffling.

  • Paul Ryan = poppin' fresh douche bag.

  • disliked due to the partisan bs.

  • IF I SAW THAT COPPER IN A PUB NEAR BE ID SMASH HIM IN THE HEAD AND GET OFF QUICK TIME

  • It's too bad Ed Schultz always makes it a partisan issue. To me, this just adds to the divide and conquer strategy. If people realize they've ALL been victimized by a small class of ruling elite, it's game over for the elite.

  • Who on earth is responsible for giving the orders to launch tear gas into the crowd?

  • Wait, "...also used by OTHER police agencies"?!? How many police agencies were there? 1:16

  • Comment removed

  • @seriela Reports still coming in claim there were between 12-16 law enforcement agencies that were present on that night.

  • Yeah... Call me crazy, but I somehow doubt that the police lobbing grenades at civilians attending a peaceful protest will have the desired effect.

  • Public health and safety was the cops reason to start throwing tear gas everywhere?

  • War is the absence of just law.

  • man, these guys just don't get it....it's not just class warfare...we need to get out of the wars...need to get the money out of government...tired of false promises...stimulas packages that don't work....and it's not about left or right...It's about what is right and what is wrong...and everything is wrong!

  • This isn't too bad, as far as mainstream media goes. Though, they're still obviously locked into the Left/Right paradigm.

  • This is how a government de-legitimizes itself.

  • Americans who don't know anything are no help because they will be easily manipulated and hijacked. Just look at what happened to the Tea Party.

  • Obama himself said that a country's government who will shoot its own people is a terrorist government. Egypt killed its own people, Iraq killed its own people, Libya killed its own people, Bahrain killed its own people, Tunisia killed its own people... ALL were labled for regime change!

    Add America to the list!

  • hmmmm, the protests are sure to get much worse, especially since BHO, Biden & Pelosi, and many more on the far left have come out in support of them; including pundit agitators like ole Red

    Biden said last week that rapes are going to increase, and what happened? Rapes, thefts and shootings among the protesters at OWS in NYC have certainly increased, along with open sex and drugs, and agitators out in force

    Lets not forget that the POTUS has told folks to get in their faces ^_~

  • Appalling, I say appalling!

    So how were those 2 LEOs injuried that Red spoke of - falling birdshit?

    Who threw the rocks and bottles to start this off?

    One would have to be quite naive to belief that there are no agitators within these crowds

    Fortunately, Olsen is out of critical care

  • its time to take it to another level 99% need to form a new political party and run in the election they have a good chance of winning at the local and federal level thats the only civil way to change the course of mankind. we need raTional responces to the problems we face not bulshit from polititions catering to the rich

  • We don't like the Dems or the Repubs. Both parties are bought off, and can't be trusted end of discussion on that. Till people are lead out in hand cuffs and made to answer for what they've done, people will continue to occupy. If the police keep escalating the violence, then eventually the protesters will do what they need to to defend themselves. The cops won't protect the people, so the people have to do it themselves. Wise up Ed. The left / right paradigm is over.

  • @jason34207 And guess who they are bought off by? The Zionists!

  • @jason34207 The Zionists are the ones screwing us all over, they need to be ejected from society.

  • What the fuck

  • what i find disturbing is how the group trying to help the guy get flashbanged

  • Repubs & Dems are equally to blame, but the commander & chief is where the buck stops, all globalists in office are guility of destroying this once great country!

  • the only reason these people disliked the video is because of how angry it makes them to see such injustice.

  • 47 People are in denial or like being led like sheep

  • WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO WE THE PEOPLE WE CAN'T LET THIS HAPPEN GUNS BY THE POLICE SHOULD NEVER BE DRAWN ON AMERICAN CITIZENS PEACEFULLY USING THERE 1ST AMENDMENT RIGHT... IT'S TYRANNY  AND ARE FORE FATHERS OF THIS ONCE BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY TOLD US THAT IF TYRANNY EVER SOW SEEDS IN ARE COUNTRY RHAT IT WAS UP TO US, WE THE THE PEOPLE TO ROOT IT OUT LIKE WEEDS

  • congress and senate? bitch slap them all! then fire them.

  • Republicans don't want to spend another shitload of money to put President Obama's sham of a plan into works! Somebody find this stupid irresponsible reporter and shove a ball-gag in his mouth!!!!

  • Paul Ryan isn't part of a solution, he's part of the problem.

  • Obama has ALWAYS been Wall Street's puppet. See THE OBAMA DECEPTION. He's a Trojan Horse. Dump the Democrat Progressives and dump the tax-and-spend neo-cons. Libya was genocide. The mainstream media lies about Libya.

  • Fox lies about the anti-bankster movement becauuse they are not constitutionalists and NOT conservative.

  • Fox News would call this kid and other veterans like him a "filthy Nazi".

  • No. We are witnessing the people tired of governement corruption.

  • Semper Fi

  • Cops love to Riot.

  • Get well Scott. The people's prayers are with you.

  • Where is Obama on this? Why d/n he come out and express concern for this vet?

  • Comment removed

  • @SkyBlueAugust because if he did comment, the republicans would have said he using the incident to score political points. that's why!

  • @chillchi In my opinion, Obama should have come out and offered support of the Olsen, had his wife visit his family and him in the hospital and should have condemned the brutal police tactics. THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH REPUBLICAN. It has to do with decency, concern, understanding and leadership. OBAMA IS MIA ON ALL OF THAT.

  • @chillchi im just telling you the obvious, you can have your own opinion but you can't have your own facts.

  • Corporate greed is what is destroying the United States. The oligarchy declared war on the 99% and started this class warfare years ago. Now they will pay a heavy price themselves for their selfish and wicked and immoral actions. So be it and bring it on motherxxxxxxx!!! Meet you on the barricades.

  • well, i went down to the demonstration to get my fair share of abuse...

  • This guy is a moron.Trying to blame it on the republicans.It is the whole governing faction that is the problem.Obamma has a jobs bill.Yeah to employ illegals to in cage us.And it also has that all states give up their sovereign rights to the feds if this bill passes.It makes this a dictatorship.You guys really need to look up these bills.That is why he wants to push it threw with his magic powers.Can any of you understand this?

  • Funny I paused to write this the first time I heard "Republican" mentioned. Credibility lost you douche bag!!!!! Dems have held congress for a long time. Repubs have held pres and senate off and on. The collapse we are about to embark on is a combination of BOTH parties having failed our principles miserably! BOTH parties bought and sold! BOTH parties led us to this brink out of their own greed. Puppets like you should be ashamed by how out of touch with WE the people you are!

  • Scott being injured is a tragedy and I hope that the person that shot him is tried and put in jail, but the rest of this? Seriously? This channel is supporting and promoting in lies and class warfare, and it's blatantly obvious.

  • 1:28 onward holy fuck

  • "we are seeing 30 years of failed republican economic policies" What a lying/stupid/biased piece of shit news person.

  • @RSands65 You are right. It is more than 30 years of failed right wing economic policy. Hell !! Milton Friedman and the Mount Perlin Society came up with the failed economic policy the Repub scum use over 50 years ago. Ed needs to get his facts down before getting on TV.

  • @rickbar123 left wing no little innocent angel to they are just as equality guilty for taking orders from the puppet masters both wings of the bird taking orders and they 2 heads of the same body dragon

  • @rickbar123 the mount perlin society was a group that favored clasical liberalism and specifically chose not to be party affiliated. Ironic the way the parties have changed sides over the years, but my point is this isn't a democratic nor republican issue, both parties are guilty, and the attempts to segregate and confuse, creating class warfare while the country continues to be destroyed, needs to end.

  • @RSands65 The MPS was paid for by the right wing. If not for the right wings money the MPS would be called Joe's Take-Out Society. The right wing has always funded stogges to come up with dogma that can be sold to the masses. Yea the dick head dems are just as bad.

  • START POSTING POLICE HOME ADDRESSES PLEASE!

  • THE REAL iSSUE HERE IS.......These people are standing up for you and me (I'm sure if you're reading this you are a part of the 99%.) and we should ALL be out there democrats and republicans alike!! It would be for OUR benefit, We The People!! We need to come together and vote these jerks in congress OUT.

  • I AM SO GODDAMN SICK OF THE RED vs BLUE BULLSHIT. CONGRESS HAS A 8% APPROVAL RATING. THE FACT IS THEY DO NOT GIVE A DAMN, THEY ALL GET RICK FEEDING OFF THE SCRAPS OF THE ELITE. Anybody remember "of the people by the people and for the people

  • Fuck Obama do not work with him, get rid of him, he is a puppet and a dangerous one at that. Do not trust Obama.

  • the 2nd American civil war

  • @starscreamdkmo It is on the way unfortunately.

  • Rip scott olsen

  • @spad3z01 he's not dead, who told you he was dead. last i heard he was in fair condition.

  • Ed is still a total partisan douchebag.

  • Man it's fucking inspiring to see the people of the US starting to stand up.

    Most of them may be ignorant and uninformed, but it's a change for the better no doubt.

  • @MOPEDBRAD Just by saying "Most of them may be ignorant and uninformed" you are detrimental to the cause. not giving out to you,just letting you know. the powers that be lie through their teeth,we dont need to give them an inch.

  • @MOPEDBRAD I don't know that I would jump to say that most of the protestors are ignorant or uninformed at all. I would suggest that you take any media handling of the Occupy Movement with a GIANT grain of salt. This is the same media that avoided covering the Occupy Wall Street Movement until it began to spread to other states.

  • First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, then you win.

  • Just who are the Police tiring to protect here? What the hell is going on with these govern mental order takers - Who and why gave orders to attack Americans? honest questions deserve honest answers - post all govern mental public address letting Americans know where they live.

  • what is this doing to stop anything, I like the rebellious attitude and I do believe something needs to be done about the corruptness our country and the world faces today.... But is this it? I don't think standing in the streets with signs showing your approval is doing much and now we have people getting hurt. Before too long who knows this may look like something similar to that of Egypt and Lybia.... Actually it already does look like that in a way.

  • DONT VOTE. and all the people who DONT VOTE, demonstrate in washington d.c.

    all the east coast, take the train. west coast take the bus.

  • @c22dividedby7 Mistake to many people will vote and vote wrong , so we must vote in order to stop the ignorant people who only vote from what they see and hear on the Television!! if you want help so we can help ourselves do vote but vote Ron Paul, listen to him and study what he says.

    He will be our last hope. He is a true patriot.

  • @johnnycmajor RON PAUL FOR LIFE!!!!!!

  • Ed Schultz (reporting) is a scum bag liberal lying piece of shit. This has NOTHING to do with "failed republican policies". This is Marxism on parade and Schultz is just a shit head liberal shill. Schultz, Michael Moore and Olbermann are just dishonest dirt bags with broken moral compasses and no conscience.

  • This guy is a Tool for Obama, He started the segment off by blaming Republicans. What an idiot both parties have been compromised. If protesters wanna do this peacefully they need to get out there with Ron Paul signs.

  • @clintcastle Yet another partisan banality. thanks for the contribution.

  • ok that is the worst advice ever get the government involved??? Thats the problem in the irst place.

  • oh,just f...uck off with this democrat vs. republican shit... Even the toddlers dont believe this any more.Go after the real bastards behind the scenes!

  • @galimir Exactly. Not Left, Not Right, Just Forward!

    Solidarity from Occupy Nelson BC!

  • I mean, this DID allegedly happen in Oakland. Might want to check that he still has his wallet before casting about allegations of police misconduct!

  • What is wrong with you people? Don't you see the real story is that a patriot/soldier died. All the rest is rhetoric and red tape designed to cause more discord, disfunction, disability and division.

  • @ChildOTheCloth Too bad about the dead Marine (if he is, in fact, dead). However, I'm sure that his training told him that the situation was turning volatile. We STILL HAVE NO VIDEO OF THE GROUP JUST PRIOR TO THE GAS CANISTERS BEING FIRED. Semper Fi, Marine. Wrong place wrong time.

  • @goodboycoopy - But we DO have video of an officer tossing a FLASHBANG GRENADE directly and intentionally into the group of people who were clearly attempting to help the war veteran. From there, it's not a far stretch to say it's quite possible that this guy was intentionally shot in the head.

  • Who knew Justin Elliot is a ballistics expert? Wait, he's not. But he's on the news, and everyone knows that if it's on TV it MUST be true!

  • makes me want to kill cops plain and simple they will get away with this shit for only so long i swear to the god i dont believe in that i will kill cops

  • @hdmfba2 Even without guns.. everyone could roll over the police very easily , hand to hand :)

  • you know in my country there is a saying among the political class, be with the youth. not because they are for them. but because a youth peaceful protest is one thing. but they are afraid of our youth if they stand up for rights they will loose their seats in parliaments.

  • Comment removed

  • :-(

    

  • In Marine Corps boot camp (apropos, is it not?) the drill instructors constantly preach about the "TEN PERCENT" of any population who are shiftless, guileless, brainless and/or clueless. Think about it. Of all the people you know, what percentage are idiots. Even for those who made it through boot camp, this rule of thumb applies. Oh yeah, I've found this rule to be particularly true for college graduates, possibly even a bit on the conservative side.

  • I just visited Atlanta. It is like a ghost town compared to 10 years ago. Sad day in our history.

  • Comment removed

  • @shandoraable Sounds like paradise to me!

  • This makes me so mad! Who do the Oakland police think they are! I thought this was America!!! It's looking less and less like it. Thanks Bush for creating this crisis!!! I hope you're happy! That's what America gets for electing a cheerleader with a silver spoon shoved up his a**!!!! I am so sorry this war veteran was shot. My prayers are with you.

  • lol fuck Ed. He's like "it's all the republicans!" They did their fair share of damage, but the democrats fucked us too.

    Every problem this nation faces is a result of two parties fucking everything up.

  • People have totally forgotten the REAL PURPOSE OF THE SQUARE IN FRONT OF CITY HALL!

    SO THE CITIZENS HAVE AN OPEN PLACE TO EXERCISE THEIR 1sh AMENDMENT RIGHT TO PEACEABLY ASSEMBLE TO ADDRESS THEIR GRIEVANCES DIRECTLY TO THE GOVERNMENT...completely outside the so called "process."

    Why is the ruling class/security state always totally surprised when the serfs come to the gate with pitchforks and torches?

  • Ed, You're a Bigot. Blaming Republicans for everything is simplistic and Stupid in the face of a liberal President and Senate.

  • @sledlecvideos Liberal President? Seriously? Ha!

  • @sledlecvideos Wisdom. This isn't a left-right issue. That kind of thinking got us where we are. It's time we move past black/white thinking.

  • What the hell are you talking about "good 'ol boy? Are you part of that 1%? I don't think so!

  • It's the big 300! When are we going to start bitching at youtube/google for fixing the view counters? Got some interesting screenshots

  • Ya know, I'd really like to see an unedited video of the crowd BEFORE the teargas canisters were shot. I've performed a pretty exhaustive search with no luck. Did the camera operator use the "Michael Moore" editing technique? Makes one wonder

  • I hate this Republican bashing. Ron Paul is THE CURE to ALL of this. Obama is bought out already. Its obvious. Ron Paul is the most searched on google in the entire world!!!! (out of pres. candidates) despite his utter lack of media representation. The World wants Ron Paul to become our president. What does the entire world know that our media is hiding from us????? PEACE???? THE DREAM???? I hate the media...

  • @MasterNameless77 -- I agree that Ron Paul is the best candidate but you shouldn't say he will be the "cure" to everything. If he does become president he is going to be faced with terrible debt that even his one trillion in cuts will not be enough to reduce. Don't expect Ron Paul to perform miracles - be more realistic. He cannot solve the problems that took decades to create in four years, or even eight.

  • @LisaJ4Liberty With the support of the people, he could easily fix it in 8 years. 4 years would be tight to expect a complete solution, but he will have laid the ground work for himself or another devoted to values to complete. The main thing is to make sure the people realize how intertwined the bankers and the law have become. -Realism is not for us dreamers ;) lol...point taken though.

  • 0:31..

    Wow....Schultz, you are the O'Reily of MSNBC. To blame this on "30 years of failed republican economic policies" is a pretty lame attempt to divide us amongst ourselves.

    I am an original tea party member, before Koch bros and murdoch hijacked it, and I am an original OWS member before GE, MSNBC, and Soros started trying to hijack us with their nonsense.This isn't about the left/right, it's about the right and wrong.

    This is a people's movement, for and by us! FUCK FOX, FUCK MSNBC

  • This economic crisis was caused by BOTH Republicans and Democrats!!! Because they are BOTH tools exploited and owned by the the greedy 1% : The Corporate Elite!!! Thanks Ed, for proving that you are also just a corporatist Tool, bought and paid for to spread: "Divide and conquer" propaganda tactics! It doesn't matter what party is in office: Democracy is a Total illusion! Your lies and the violations of our Constitutional rights prove that Truth! WAKE UP SHEEPLE!

  • 30 years of duel party would be a better discription if your not a hack. Hope for the best to those injured and arrested.

  • @Hirene6963 rofl...these ron paul fans that dont have the ability to follow his proposals to their logical conclusion. Under ron paul, we'll be living in a society roughly equivalent to that of Somalia.

  • You can hear and see the OWSers asking the officers for help... so sad. Thank you USMC Olsen for your service and your representation in Oakland. My thoughts are with you.

  • OWS should arms themselfs like tea party did, I sure teh police will think twice before fireing on armed people. This cops over fire at unarmed people.

  • A perfect example of how the Left is trying to co-opt this movement was right in the 1st few seconds of this video when asshole Ed tries to say that this is 30 years of Republican economics coming to a head. What about failed Democratic policy Ed you moron??? You fat, leftist shill!!!! Both parties are 2 heads of the same snake! And the poison delivery system is phony media goons like you!

  • @Dedhedted71 I heard that, both parties are bought and sold.

  • The commentator here is assuming that when the government 'does something' that this actually helps the economy. It doesn't.

  • Wow taking this as an opportunity to rail on republicans. It's not like Obama bailed anyone out and got huge donations from those companies. Fucking idiot, you aren't supposed to want more of the entity that caused this.

  • The police are the enforcement arm of the state. Ed and his followers worship the state; then they act surprised when the god that they count on to take other people’s stuff by force – the same god that Scott Olsen served in an idiotic war of aggression, BTW – turns on them.

  • i can onl;y SPEAK from MY HEART centre..... 800 WARS over many centuries .. NOT ONE created ANY PEACE ..THIS IS OUR NOW! LETS MAKE IT COUNT!

  • This guy needs to get real. People DON'T NEED MORE EFFING Government programs. We need JOBS and that does NOT come from inefficient government bureaucracy. They know how to waste money. Even a GOOD program will go bad if you let government handle it!
