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

Footage from the Occupy Oakland protest, October 25th, 2011. After protesters ran to the aid of a badly-injured person, Oakland Police deliberately lobbed a flash grenade into the crowd. Whatever you think of the Occupy movement, police behavior of this kind is criminal and should be prosecuted.

The original footage was shot by Ben Cruz. Here's an article identifying the cop who threw the grenade: http://www.eastbayexpress.com/ebx/cop...

They shoulda used frag grenades.

Flame throwers, are more effective.

Yeah man, fuck those hippies! Protesting against neoliberal policies which are keeping you all poor is for losers! Haha, let's not do anything about how corrupt congress is, let's laugh at those who DO take a stand though! How American!

Wait.. So why are there a bunch of thumbs up? Are we cheering the police or are we cheering the hippies, a little confused here...

Also.. if you listen to the arguments on both sides.. 98% of the comments who support the police are stuff like 'ahahah, stupid fags deserved it'.

People on the other side seem to at least have a thought out argument for their cause.

One side is CLEARLY more intelligent in general... sorry but, fact....

lolatlibtards doesn't really give a f* about anything as long as he is entertained, his page shows that clearly.. he has no values, he's scared as sh** to stand for what he believes in.

I can't even believe the comments on this page.. they are mostly in support of the police attacking a group of UNARMED citizens.

You must be ingnorant, scared, or completely destructive to post most of those comments and supporting the police for attacking a group of people helping a citizen in distress. SHAME

Hey guys, when you view this video/comments you should question comments like 'lolatlibtards' or 'theegangsterchannel' there's a good chance they're just a corporate trolling tool.

You think that killing them proves you're right........ fascists kill people with differing political ideologies.

You must be a dangerous individual, i hope you are an individual that is to lazy or stupid too vote, because it scares me that someone as twisted as you has the power to bring about political change.

Grow up you fucking child. Freedom is freedom, regardless of political orientation. Your attitude is abhorrent
