1. Sedated and in critical condition after being hit by a tear gas canister at close range in the head

What is wrong with these cops? Good grief.

2. Isn't it crazy that during the Tea bag protests around the country there were

no arrest by the police and tear gassing of people.

4. Doesn't that just say that they were "protected" by those that were their puppeteers? They didn't

have to worry!

8. The police overreacted, but the OWS should not have started throwing rock and bottles.

When you have a crowd of 1,000 and they start throwing rocks and bottles, it can quickly escalate into a serious situation and people can get injured. The police were warranted in clearing out the protestors once they stopped being "peaceful" protestors and they were correct to announce their intentions to use tear gas if the crowd did not disperse. They should not have fired projectiles into the crowd, but the crowd should not have thrown projectiles either. They are equally at fault.

No one seems to know if the Vet was hit by police projectile or protestor projector.

Don't know how he was initially hit but there is no doubt to what happens next.

11. I have seen many videos of the incident, and don't see "rocks and bottles".

From your post, people would think the police were justified in what they did because they were in danger. No they were not. Bullshit on your post!

12. "No one seems to know"

Maybe in your world.

I will be joining my local OWS movement here in Grand Rapids, MI this weekend. This is our time to make a difference!
