From @schuyler: “A CS grenade, and two 12 ga shotgun shells purportedly used by the police to propel the beanbag bullets. #OccupyOakland”
Meanwhile, police are reporting that they didn’t use any method like this at Occupy Oakland. I can’t get past the image of what looks like a peace sign made of shotgun shells.
So frustrating to see these kind of tactics being used against peaceful protesters.
The scene in Rome: ”A demonstrator throws a stone toward police during a protest by the ‘Indignant’ group against banking and finance in Rome, Italy, Oct. 15. Demonstrators rallied on Saturday around the world to accuse bankers and politicians of wrecking economies, but only in Rome did the global “day of rage” erupt into violence. Galvanized by the Occupy Wall Street movement, the protests began in New Zealand, rippled east to Europe and were expected to return to their starting point in New York.” (Photo by Alessandro Bianchi / Reuters)
