Btw, Kas, dunno if you read this yet - http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/oct/26/occupy-oakland-veteran-critical-condition

Don't know how there's justification for the police here.

See the British protests a while back.


People rioting and people by people rioting sometimes get hit in the head... that's just how it goes.  Rubber Bullets bounce, excetera.

You obviously use tear gas on people running towards the person because you have no idea if they're trying to rush you or help the person.

Why it all happened is basic common sense unless you have an agenda.

Again, note how the footage all begins after he was hit.  I'd notice how he's a hell of a lot closer to the baracade then the most of the protesters,  IE he obviously either refused to move back or activly advanced towards the police.

And watch this video again.  Explain your rationalization for the throwing of a flashbang into a group of protesters who were around someone on the ground, crying out for someone to help.  Do you have ANY rationalization here?  Aren't you going to get tired yet of rationalizations being made for this?  Or are you SO polarized in one camp, the idea of acceptable behavior is only relevant when is supports your opinion of things?  This video below is before anyone was hit and shows the context.  It shows the entire incident with one person on the ground and a crowd around him.
