Shot by police with rubber bullet at Occupy Oakland (Video)
 

"While filming a police line at Occupy Oakland after midnight on Nov. 3 following the Nov. 2 general strike, an officer opens fire and shoots me with a rubber bullet. I was standing well back. There was no violence or confrontations of any kind underway. At 0:31 seconds you can see a tall officer in the front raise his weapon and then fire. This is the full clip of the incident."

:disgust

huntr3ss is on them...

Shouldn't have been out after midnight on a school day.

hahahahaha

I fail to see why the police fired at him.

Then again, you couldn't pay me enough to stand between 100 cops in riot gear and a group of protesters. Even more so if it's in Oakland.

When keeping it real goes wrong.....

I say that cop need to be charged with abuse of power and excessive force. Was no need for that. If I was that guy I'd sue the living fuck out of the city over that.

Cry me a river!

You dont see anything wrong with this?

That's what you get for being a jobless smelly hippy.

why were you there in first place?

werent you in the military?

You will risk your life to die for oil and soldier pay but scared of exercising the very rights you were supposed to be "protecting"?

This is america we should be able to protest without fear, you are under police state control

I bet would you would be the first person to catch a rubber bullet with your teeth if you were there.

im not claiming to do or be anything, just surprised by the fear of protesting. People will march into war for oil, but scared of protesting in American public street?

Ive attended protests in Los Angeles and would attend another.

But alas, this isnt about me, its about fear causing people not to protest, and that is EXACTLY what they want.

hahaha.. awww awww awww he shot me hahha

for the record wasnt flaming rochard or anything, just really surprised by that type of response. really, no flame

It's no big deal that this happens to U.S. citizens who are supposed to be the ones wielding the power. Well, not until it effects people here personally, then they will be here "crying a river."

Play with fire you get burned.

The Third Reich called, they want their humor back.

Point is WTF was he doing out after midnite especially around this bunch of asswipes?

Nothing good could come from it bystander or not.

Nice to see it works. Now if only they could they the Dutch government and police how to do that.
I can't stand those smelly fuckers that are polluting this city anymore.

sad to see. There were riots near our parliament 2 years ago, when politics raised taxes, so police officers were shooting to people with rubber bullets, no matter if they were innocent or not.

lol ..... fuckin' great :D

The only thing I don't understand is did the police run out of real bullets? Why only rubber bullets? :error

lol , nice maoning...

take care.

hahaha trying not to laugh

Smart cop, shooting people while being recorded. Big surprise there.

He was filming, so I suspect he expected nothing to happen. I mean real big threat some guy with a camera is.. I'm pretty sure that cop broke any "legal" usage of the rubber bullet when he shot the guy that was clearly no threat.

Im' not a sue happy person, but if that guy doesn't sue the city of that he's fucking stupid as hell. At the very least he should be suing to have the cop fired.
