In a stunning letter today verified by KQED, the Oakland Police Department has expressed support for the Occupy Movement.

"I've got an idea! How about treating non-violent protesters as you'd like to be treated when you have a grievance, and not shooting them in the head with a tear gas canister when all they are doing is standing there? Then, you know, don't lob a flash bang into the group coming to his aid. What do you think? Revolutionary concept or what?
I call bullshit on this whole letter. Try talking to the idiots that were involved in last weeks attack on the marine and perhaps consider an official reprimand/assault charges instead of putting out some letter to make yourselves look like innocent bystanders with ambiguous orders. The Mayor of Oakland sounds like a complete idiot as well."

Thanks for sharing that. Now the individual(s) culpable for shooting Scott Olsen and abusing his rescuers with flashbangs need to be investigated and punished accordingly.
Yes, prosecute the ones who were violent against the demonstrators.
Nice.
