President Obama, it is time for you to stop these actions. Regardless of how anyone feels about the protesters, actions like these make us look the exact same as the regime’s that we imposed no fly zones on. Are we no better than the regimes in the middle east? Apparently the answer is no.
Here is footage from the Occupy Oakland protest, October 25th, 2011. After protesters ran to the aid of a badly-injured person, Oakland Police deliberately lobbed a flash grenade into the crowd. Whatever you think of the Occupy movement, police behavior of this kind is criminal and should be prosecuted.
