Oakland Mayor Quan Prosecute This Cop or Resign: Photo Evidence, Scott Olsen Shooting |
|
Edited on Thu Oct-27-11 07:34 PM by kpete
The attempted murder of one of my Marine Corps brothers needs to be prosecuted. I have seen the films and the case is clear cut. We asked you to stop the fascist tactics BEFORE this happened. You need to resign in disgrace. Dr. Donald C. Mikulecky, honorably discharged USMC regular officer.
Oakland Mayor Quan Prosecute This Cop or Resign: Photo Evidence, Scott Olsen Shooting byRalph LopezFollow
New film has emerged from Occupy Oakland repression in which two tour Iraq vet Scott Olsen suffered a fractured skull from being shot with a tear gas canister from 5 to 10 feet away. In the film the highlighted officer can be seen backing away from the barricade and lowering his weapon.
Frame 1
Frame 2
Frame 3
VIDEO: http://vimeo.com/31187119
A poster at Occupy Marines Facebook makes the following comment:
you can see Scott Olsen standing, with his BACK TOWARDS THE COPS moments before being shot Watch close- the guy who shot him can be seen backing away from the fence and lowering his shotgun (he musta been less then 5 feet from Scott when he shot him in the head....) he then goes behind two other cops and THROWS THE FLASH BANG himself at the people trying to save them. (the other two cops don't move, but this guys steps back and then forward just as the flash bang is tossed - other two cops in that section don't even twitch as the flashbang is tossed)
Same Guy shot him and then tossed the FlashBang at the people trying to save him. http://www.facebook.com/pages/OccupyMARINES/246310432083819?sk=wall

34. The Mayor could pressure the DA.. and so could the Governor. |
|
And there is no reason not to. Standing up for a veteran? Political goldmine if you think like they do.

15. Those are rubber bullet rounds he is carrying |
|
Looks like he is enjoying his work too. He's also an OPD Officer. So much for the "we didn't use rubber bullet rounds".

3. Is there a way to enlarge this to the point that the badge number |
|
can be seen? With all of the riot gear, I don't know how his face can be clearly seen.

5. No, not unless other video/images surface. However, he was issued a weapon and grenades and... |
|
...at the end of that night he should have had to account for any missing inventory. If they are getting so sloppy that they're not even accounting for expenditures like that, I don't know what to say.

12. Well Officer H. Castro is the cop on the left so maybe he knows who he is |
|
That's a big clue and a good place to start.

Um, isn't this exactly what TERRORISTS do?? Cause initial damage/injury, then wait until help arrives and bomb/shoot again to multiply the carnage???

6. Same pattern with the infamous tear-gas cop in NYC: shoot it off at close range, |
|
range, then fade back into the crowd.

30. 12 agencies per the Merc. May be easier to find out who wasn't there. |
|
That's one of the most distressing parts, to my mind. We need a regional Occupation strategy to deal with that.
Btw, OccupyMarines seems to have Identified the shooter as Alameda Co. Sheriff badge and weapons. This guy will be dox'd shortly.

14. This guy needs to be identified. Someone knows who this guy is and is covering it up. |
|
Edited on Thu Oct-27-11 07:59 PM by stevedeshazer
This cop committed a serious crime on camera.
Those other cops surely know who he is. If they don't step up and speak out, they are just as guilty.
I'd like to think most cops are honest. If so, they would do themselves a great service by identifying the one who betrayed their mission, to protect and serve. Failure to do so will result in a lack of public trust.
They're after all, part of the 99%, too.
I hope one or more of them does the right thing and point out the bad apple so the whole barrel isn't spoiled.

We must find out this thug's identity ASAP.
I hope he finally understands what a scumbag he is and just turns himself in.

Whenever smoke grenades or tear gas is used, the weapon is supposed to be tilted at 45º, never parallel to the ground or toward people!!

27. I have trouble seeing it. Where's Scott Olson in the picture? |
|
That would help. Is he standing in front of the woman? Is he next to the sailor in uniform?
I can see the cop is holding something. I can't tell that it's a shot gun. I can see that he backs up, that the other cops don't move, but I can't see him flinging anything.
I do notice the smoke or tear gas billowing behind the police. I remember from another vid, somebody threw one of the teargas canisters back into the police, or threw a smoke bomb. The "smoke" gets denser here as the time progresses. So, this has to have been immediately after that. Could it have been Olson who threw it back? If it was, you have proof of motive the cop had, and why he fired especially at him, using his "non-lethal" weapon in a lethal way, and why he then maliciously threw tear gas around him to keep anyone from helping.
This guy is a criminal and a tremendous asshole. He belongs in prison.

31. Click on the video link, it identifies Scott Olsen by name |
|
It appears that somebody threw some tear gas back at police. But Scott is seen just standing there. When people rush in to help, that's when one of the cops throws a flash bang grenade at both them and the wounded Olsen.

See the guy in the Navy uniform (sorry, dont know the exact name for that uniform) holding the flag....Olson is next to him. On the Navy guys left. This is clear from some other pictures that have come to light.
