Scott's comment referred to this news that broke Wednesday:
Lawyer: Scott Olsen Was Hit by Beanbag Round
“It looks like one officer intentionally shot him,” Olsen's attorney says
By Zoe Corneli on March 14, 2012 - 5:02 p.m. PDT
Iraq war veteran Scott Olsen was hit in the head with a beanbag round during an Occupy Oakland protest last fall, his attorney told The Bay Citizen Wednesday. The shot fractured Olsen's skull.
The question of how Olsen was injured, and by whom, has been the subject of intense speculation and an ongoing police department investigation.
Mark Martel, Olsen’s attorney, said the Oakland Police Department had given him the information a couple of weeks ago, but had not stated explicitly whether it was an Oakland police officer who fired the round.

Oakland Police Department Crowd Control Policy (pdf)
Department Training Bulletins shall be used to advise members of current police techniques and procedures and shall constitute official policy.
2. Uses of Direct Fired Specialty Impact Less-Lethal Munitions (SIM).
Direct Fired SIM are less-lethal specialty impact weapons that are designed to be direct fired at a specific target, including but not limited to flexible batons ("bean bags"
, and shall not be used for crowd management, crowd control or crowd dispersal during demonstrations or crowd events. Direct Fired SIM may never be used indiscriminately against a crowd or group of persons even if some members of the crowd or group are violent or disruptive.
a. Direct Fired SIM may be used against a specific individual who is engaging in conduct that poses an immediate threat of loss of life or serious bodily injury to himself or herself, officers, or the general public or who is engaging in substantial destruction of property which creates an imminent risk to the lives or safety of other persons. In such instances, Direct Fired SIM shall be used only when other means of arrest are unsafe and when the individual can be targeted without endangering other crowd members or bystanders (See Special Order No. 8135 enacted April 15, 2004.).
b. The use of Direct Fired SIM must cease when the violent or destructive actions cease. These weapons must not be used for the purpose of apprehension or to otherwise prevent escape unless escape would present a substantial risk of continued imminent threat to loss of life or serious bodily injury.
c. Members shall only deploy Direct Fired SIM during a demonstration or crowd event under the direction of a supervisor.
d. When circumstances permit, the supervisor on the scene shall make an attempt to accomplish the policing goal without the use of Direct Fired SIM as described above, and, if practical, an audible warning shall be given to the subject before deployment of the weapon.
e. Any person struck by a round shall be transported to a hospital for observation and any necessary treatment. Ambulance service, if required, shall be ordered per General Order I-4. First aid, when necessary, shall be administered per Training Bulletin III-K.
f. No member shall use Direct Fired SIM without formal training.
g. Direct Fired SIM shall not be used against a person who is under restraint.
h. Members shall not discharge a Direct Fired SIM at a person’s head, neck, throat, face, left armpit, spine, kidneys, or groin unless deadly force would be justified.

I'm just glad he survived. He sure seems to have an incredible attitude (good and positive!) for having to live with his current health problems.
