I think goverment of this place should be handled as terrorist, maybe send some troops there to keep peace. Democracy is much needed there. Still nothing new happens every day in those third world countries.

Yeesh, I work in Oakland.  This is scary and infuriating stuff, though the video really is ambiguous.

Ambiguous in what way?  you cannot tell how he was injured, but you can plainly see one officer deploying a flashbang against the people rushing to pick the injured marine off the pavement.

gov'ts are stupid, we need to bring back the water cannons, sure it's a big stigma since they were used in the martin luther king days, but think about it, the only reason OWS protests are working so well is cuz of smartphones, well smartphones + water don't mix.

I think USA citizens and non-citizens should dug up their weapons and form a well regulated militia.

all the major cities have such strict laws that only the midwest have guns... you don't want those crazies forming anything. Actually i should get a gun, never owned or fired one in my life, but i live in pa and i haven't been fingerprinted or arrested ever so i guess i qualify. I know my neighbor has guns i used to sign for his ammo shipments, now they just leave em at his door... yea that's safe.

There's always a few scumbag police officers during protests, which that guy throwing the stun grenade clearly was.  I hope there's an inquiry and a prosecution over it, like we had here over the death of Ian Tomlinson.
