3. Amazing. Disgusting. Oakland needs to have everyone in the Bay Area converge on there.

And SIT. DOWN.

9. Should point out that flash bangs are usually

not fired into large crowds. Ok I will stop now.

[Fire Walk With Me]

11. No, please continue. Have they broken any laws?

[nadinbrzezinski]

13. It's like firing an m-80.

They are used in swat hostile entry to disorient. But one of these puppies could really hurt.

20. You can see the Vets for Peace guy down on the ground

about one minute into this video too. The camera pans right and he passes out of view. As the camera pans back, you see the group of protesters trying to rescue him, and the 'flash' of the tear gas canister the cop threw right on top of the injured vet. This is fucking sick, someone needs to pay.
