Did Oakland Police Throw Second Grenade into Civilians Treating Scott Olsen?
Edited on Fri Oct-28-11 09:56 PM by NYC_SKP
It sure looks to me from this video that they did.

Forgive me if it's been posted before, it's new to me:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZLyUK0t0vQ&feature=player_embedded

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, shot by Ali Winston, is here: http://www.ktvu.com/video/29587714/index.html

1. After shooting Scott point blank in the head, they then attacked the people
coming to his aid in an effort to finish the job.

Maybe I'm weird. I can't think of any other name for it than attempted murder.

2. Yes they did and every fucking one of them needs to
go to prison.

So they can be murdered by real tough guys.

the ones that can do you with a toothbrush and a razor blade.

Instead of lounging around with grenade launchers in full riot gear.

Hey, Oakland cops:

Fuck you and your cowardice.

You are cowards.

You have no honor.

You just tried to kill unarmed civilians.

If you'd done it in Vietnam, in front of me, I'd have killed you for it.

7. This is NOT why I went.
They have tried to kill one of my brothers, on top of shooting an unarmed civilian in the back of the head.

Fuck them.

Fuck them to hell....

3. I see two objects, one like a bag and one like a black ball. Was wondering about that.
