Do you think they specifically discussed this strategy at their briefing before they formed up, or do you think it was a couple of them acting in tandem on the spur of the moment?

Shrug. I don't know if it would be a official 'policy' from the department. We will see if there is a investigation to what happened, etc.

Those flash bangs and other anti-crowd devices are accountable.

If they come out and say they don't know who threw one into the crowd, then you know its policy. If they choose to punish the guy, then you know he did it for kicks.

Like throwing a M-80 at a cat. Same mentality. Anyone who has used them or seen one go off know they aren't something to play around with.

These are seasoned riot police.. they get lots of practice in this neck of the woods.

The protesters have been advised to disperse and were actually read the ‘Riot Act’, Yes, there is a law in California re: unlawful assemblies, have refused to do so after multiple readings and now bear the brunt of the responsibility where this goes.

They had a local gal that took a shot to her back of her leg on news last night, left a heckuva welt.. but she’ll heal in time.

Hope the young fella recovers, if not, who is really to blame for his predicament?

You can see here that he's suffered some type of concussion. His eyes aren't even reacting to the flash bang.
