Watch footage of the protest here ( there’s a video of Olsen collapsing):

Hyperbole from the sounds of it.
What does anyone know about this “Scott Olsen”, is he a REAL Iraq/Afghan Combat Vet or is he a Paper-Pushin’ REMF? We need to know!
Well, the left was hoping for a “Kent State” moment.
The media is delighted. Leftists always benefit from tragedy.
How ironic that he had a good job, survived two tours in Iraq, only to sign on with a ‘professional’ gang of Marxists posing as protesters and moving targets for the media to get shots as they get pummeled of their own accord...
You swim with sharks, you get bit..
A helluva way to seek sympathy and gather support for anti-capitalism, but to the media who helped birth this pig, break out the spare lipstick..
Democrats killing democrats, last time this happened the Silent Majority went on a 49 state sweep.
I feel sorry for the poor guy, but let’s face it - you sleep with dogs, you get fleas. Now he’ll probably be the poster boy for the union thugs, who will increasingly feel empowered to goad the police.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes...
The guy should have had enough SITAWARE (and common sense) to bug out from the area before the Oakland PD cleared the area.
Very sad, but he shouldn’t have been there.
Question that needs to be asked, did protesters PROVOKE police?
Has this been verified? Just curious.
If he’d behaved himself like a good citizen instead of going out like a punk looking to riot, he’d be fine. No frikken sympathy from me.
My parents taught me not to riot or throw things at cops, nor stand next to or even in the vicinity of people taunting cops.
This is a manufactured uprising and as someone posted here, you tak your chances when you face off with authority--WACO anyone? Ruby Ridge?--Only there, the media protected Reno and her goons-- and the BATF
It is VERY possible he was hit by something other than police projectiles.
If he dies, he becomes a martyr and we will all know his name because it will be on the alphabet stations 24/7.

Interesting...we denigrate the law enforcement people when they do stuff we don’t like, and praise them when they do stuff we like...
At the beggining of this video footage it shows the guy on the ground. As the other protesters move away there appears to be some kind of smoking projectile that shoots from the guy on the ground?

Not sure why He is in that Hospital. A major Head Trauma unit for the VA is only about 30 miles from there. Prehaps He cannot be moved, or maybe not a Veteran.
