It surprises me to say this but so far the NYPD has been pretty fair about this whole thing, unlike in Oakland when the pigs attacked the citizens.
from todays' counterpunch.org
various videos documenting the assault on Olsen have been posted on YouTube. One reveals that he was hit in the head at close range. Demonstrators rush to his aid, as an Oakland cop fires a second canister at the crowd. Wearing his Marine jacket, Olsen is carried through tear-gas smoke to the sounds of shrieking people. The footage reveals that the explosion that downed Olsen came from a flash bang grenade, which the police deny they used. At a press conference they say they only used tear gas and baton rounds.
