Default Oakland Police Critically Injure a Iraq Vet taking part in OWS...

Too bad for this vet, serves his country defending our rights, and then when he exercises them he gets hit in the head by what looks like some very zealous police action...

American dreams include Veterans and American Indians too.....

Here are some videos of this event, he was part of Veterans for peace.. 1 down in Oakland

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worl...y-Oakland.html

Quote:
Protesters from Occupy Oakland who posted video of Mr Scott Olsen online after he was injured said that the shooting happened at 4th Street and Broadway in Downtown Oakland during a march to reclaim a plaza which the group had been using as a base for two weeks until it was cleared by police.

Witness Jay Finneburgh said that Mr Olsen “was right behind me when he was hit in the head with a police projectile. he went down hard and did not get up.”

In the video Mr Olsen is unresponsive and bleeding from an apparent head wound as he is carried away by protesters, one of whom is screaming for a medic.

In another video, filmed from a different angle protesters who go to the aid of Mr Olsen as he lays unconscious on the ground also become a target for police tear gas canisters

It is a shame the protesters choose not to get permits or follow the law, when asked to leave or for clean up of their filth.

Should the authorities allow the drug dealing and so on to continue and ignore it?

The other crimes occurring?

However some of the OWS leaders will welcome violence, since it advances the agenda...

I commend you, it's good to see a liberal defend somebody in the military, they are usually trying to find fault with them.

Nobody is paying much attention to the OWS now, time marches on, nothing is forever, they should have all gotten together from all over the country and then marched on Washington and The White House, thats where all the blame lies, that's where The Bailouts Came From, Washington Protects The Rich.

I'm sure there were those who had those same sentiments during the Arab spring: if only the protesters had gotten permits. But, wait, the Tea Party seems to be pro-dictator and the right wing seems to be hoping that the governments that replace the dictators are Islamo-fascist, so maybe they agree that the protesters should have gotten permits to protest Qadaffi and Mubarek?

The pro-police, law-and-order fascist [] don't like it when protesters stay too long. Teabaggers did their "day protests" and then went into the Holiday Inn hotel rooms for the night, and showed up the next day all refreshed and energized. Their "revolution" is dying. This group of protesters deserves some admiration for their fortitude and stubbornness. They are not there to play by the rules because the rules are what is killing this country with mediocrity and compliance with the corporate rule. The police havew a long tradition of applying the will of their Owners. Goes way back in history. Thus we have this result and fascist jackasses blaming the protesters for police brutality.

Liberals defend members of the military all the time.

Where are all the "patriotic" pubbies who are so quick to send troops to war but don't give a ***** about them when they come back broken, physically and / or mentally?

You'd have to ask the dem mayor of Oakland who ordered the demonstrators to leave then ordered the cops in when they didn't comply.

Not really if the anarchy became bad enough perhaps dems would follow up on their wish to cancel the election....

No, of course not. They should randomly shoot unarmed American war veterans who are peacefully exercising their first amendment right to assemble in the head with rubber bullets.

Much easier than actually doing their job and arresting the drug dealers and those committing other crimes.
