Occupy Oakland January 28, 2012 - Police Brutality. Extended Cut of First Tear-Gassing.

When I edited my video, I was admittedly in a hurry. I knew it was important to upload it the same day and I did a rush job because I had an obligation to make it to. I wanted to make my video short and to the point and I later realized that I over-edited down the first time the police tear-gassed the protesters that day. I didn't expect so many views on my video and for other media outlets to use that footage so I didn't really think it was a big deal. Now I think it is important to release an extended cut of that footage.

I am the 99%.

The OccuScum trash is NOT fighting for me. Vandalizing public buildings is NOT doing anything to help me. Burning our flag is NOT helping me. Those OccuScum are nothing more than a mob with the goal to destroy and damage, and provoke conflict with the police.

It is those police officers that are fighting for me. The problem is that the police are not using sufficient force, sufficient tear gas, or sufficient pepper spray on those violent occupy scum.
