RAW VIDEO: OAKLAND POLICE ATTACK PROTESTERS WITH TEAR GAS | Tonight, hundreds of Occupy Oakland protesters are facing off with the Oakland Police Department, which has decided to use heavy-handed non-lethal weapons to disperse demonstrators. Raw video has emerged of the police firing tear gas at protesters as helicopters buzz by overhead. Watch it:

2. The Police State tactics have started in Oakland
This is war, just like it was during Nam, just like it was during the civil rights era, and other times that people had to fight to get their rights.

3. NPR News picked up the story and made sure to state that the
police were responding to being pelted with bottles and rocks. Not sure if that was true or not but I have strong doubts. Anyone have a conclusive answer?

8. yeah, if that happens shit's gonna fly on the right
Be rather sick if Rush says they are human debris and someone thinks they get shot at (instead of bottles) so they return fire ... be talking something worse than something I don't wanna say.

10. probably an agent provocateur who tossed
bottles and rocks. These are the tactics that police typically use to find the need to use these weapons of war on civilians.

6. Never heard a flash bang grenade IRL. But that was some loud flashing at the start of the video.

Most of the comments at youtube are agents the protesters. Is youtube like all trolls all the time?
