I didn't or couldn't make out the original injury of the former marine in the video, all I saw was a spinning camera and then the body, so I don't think we can safely know what happened to him, and whether it was deliberate or not.

I have my doubts that its a rubber bullet. A blow to the head by a rubber bullet would be a lot more devestating looking.

He could have been struck by a wayward tear gas cannister, or intentional struck by a tear gas cannister.

The idiot action was the second cop lobbing a flashbang right into a group of people. While flashbangs aren't all that dangerous in terms of permanent injuries, they do deafen and disorient, and there could be a possibility of s serious burn.

The cop that lobbed that into that group of people was an idiot plain and simple.

I always worry about context in these video clips.

I doubt with the publicity that the Oakland Police are going to want to try and cover this up, if they do they might end up with their own version of the LA riots.

But I think its going to be impossible to charge a specific cop or two in that chaos, I couldn't even get a read on who lobbed the flashbang, besides being shielded its impossible to tell who actually threw it.

I think the end result will happen higher up in the chain at a command level.

At the end of the day to me, I'm not willing to join the all cops are pigs and evil brigade that is spreading through the web right now.

And yes the Oakland Police Chief is pretty obviously stupid.
