Multiple cities across the nation have begun their offensive against
the people standing up for the right to fair representation and a just
economic system instead of the corporatist system which we are currently
subjugated by.
Some of these have been brutal and vicious attacks on Americans, including what now appears to be an intentional attack on Scott Olsen -- a former Marine who served two tours of duty in Iraq before leaving the military in 2010.
In Oakland Olsen was struck in the head by a police projectile, causing a skull fracture which put him in critical condition. Thankfully, Olsen is now conscious, although he is reportedly having trouble speaking and his brain swelling is still a risk according to doctors. The most disturbing part of this incident is not that the police who are supposed to protect and serve are brutally assaulting demonstrators but that the officer apparently meant to hit Olsen in the head.

As you will see in the following video, Scott Olsen was just feet away
from the police barricade when he was hit in the head. The officer
responsible clearly did not lob a tear gas canister as they are supposed
to do, but instead aimed at Olsen’s head.
You will then see activists rush to Olsen’s aid as he is lying on the ground, unmoving and bleeding from the head.
Notice the police officer move back behind two other officers then lob what appears to be a flash bang right next to Olsen’s body.
