Someone probably threw a piece of paper in the trash can.

The police are accussing the folks from Occupy of throwing things? Based upon the history of the police when it comes to dealing with Occupy, someone probably threw a piece of paper in the garbage can and all hell broke loose. The Oakland cops are a bunch of bullies whose only welfare their looking out for is that of Big Business. They certainly aren't looking out for the welfare of its citzens. Really? Flash grenades? You would have thought they'd learn their lesson the last time they used such tactics and ended up cracking the skull of VET who had recently just returned from serving in Afghanastan. Some welcome home! Again, can someone please tell me what was thrown at the cops that warrented such a reaction from the thuds, I mean, cops? Shameful!
