OMG! Look at this video of extreme police violence against occupiers in Oakland!

[workinclasszero]

Watch it till the very end when the cops throw a flash GRENADE directly into a group of protesters trying to help a fallen victim of their obscene violence!

3. thanks

That does seem unnecessary.

[Danse]

4. Holy Shit

It doesn't get much more mean-spirited than that. The protesters were already on the run, and were only returning to help an unconscious woman. It's a miracle no one died last night.

Seems to me that the PTB are trying to provoke a riot, which would "justify" an even more violent crackdown across the nation.

They should be careful what they wish for.

15. ... the think about violent crack downs

america is the most armed society in the world. once it start it wont stop. this country will be burned downed and see more killings than in iraq. then the racist will use the opportunity to start a race war.

8. Double Down Oakland!

If a batch of pepper spray can get the protester numbers up, SURELY a flash grenade can. I hope none of those kids who went to the aid of their friend was injured.

[Glimmer of Hope]

9. What the hell is wrong with them? I hope that person is ok.

10. Is this anywhere on YouTube?. . .n/t

[workinclasszero]

11. Yes here:

This vid slows it down and highlights the cops that throw the grenade and another one that appears to be firing rubber bullets into the crowd.

12. Speechless

the slo-mo version is incredible. He waits until the maximum number of people have gathered around her, then surreptitiously throws it underhand directly into the center of the crowd. At that point -- Just like Tony Baloney -- he begins slinking away behind the row of fellow Darth Vaders.

Amazing footage.

18. OMG they were trying to help someone injured and they get fired upon!

hope this goes viral!

[workinclasszero]

19. I know its sickening

Someone lying in the street injured and a group of kids trys to rescue her. Then a cop lobs a flash-bang grenade right next to her prostrate body and it explodes!

I mean OMG! What the hell is wrong with that sick ass cop!? He needs to be identified and fired from the police force before he kills some innocent protesters.

[Ian David]

20. Well, they were doing it because they were concerned for the occupiers' safety.

:sarcasm:

21. Police terror rules the streets in Oakland: Video of woman shot

27. Nice Quote of interim police chief:

"We had to deploy gas to stop people from throwing rocks and bottles at police," said Interim Police Chief Howard Jordan, as cited by the daily.

I'm sure they will be releasing video of all the rocks and bottles the police endured before they 'deployed' the gas. What about the flash-bangs and rubber bullets there chiefie?

[blindpig]

22. The police school the people in the true nature of...

31. Oh yeah that is in the first video I linked to

The girl was laying on the street obviously hurt. A bunch of people rushed over to help her and some damned pig, not cop, not police officer, PIG, threw a flashbang grenade right next to her helpless injured body and it EXPLODED!

Only a damned nazi would do a thing like that and that person needs to be ID'ed and arrested for assault with a deadly weapon!
