OPD critically injures a combat vet at occupy Oakland raid.

Today, 10/26/11 at 3pm at Oakland City Hall, a vigil will be held in support of Scott Olsen, a Marine veteran who was hit by a police projectile in downtown Oakland at the Occupy Oakland demonstration on the evening of October 25, 2011.

Olsen completed two tours in Iraq and is a member of Iraq Veterans Against the War. At this time, Olsen is in stable yet serious condition at an Oakland Hospital.

At the hospital, he is accompanied by friends and other Iraq Veterans Against the War. Olsen is a valued community member of Occupy San Francisco.







If anyone deserved to protest without being gunned down, its that combat veteran who served two tours of duty. Now he fights for his life in Highland hospital. I am ashamed of OPD's actions.
