VIDEO: Oakland Police Strike Peaceful Army Ranger Supporting Occupy Protest ... Lacerating His Spleen

George Washington's picture




 

On November 2nd, Oakland police struck a peaceful Army Ranger who was supporting the Occupy protest with nightsticks on his back, ribs, shoulders and hands, lacerating his spleen and causing internal bleeding (and see this). Video of the attack has just been released:

    Witnesses say that the Ranger was totally peaceful and the attack was unprovoked. The end of the attack was not filmed, as the police quickly formed a barricade between the cameraman and the Ranger, pointing several guns at the filmmaker to get him to back off. This is not the first time that America's militarized police forces have severely wounded a veteran supporting the Occupy protests.

Maybe he should do one asking O'bama if he feels any shame yet for accepting all the Wall Street money he got in 2008.

Fairey is delusional.

In 1931 the ameriKlan's most highly decorated Marine, Major General Smedley Butler, talked informally after a speech and told of Italian dictator Benito Mussolini hitting and killing a child with his car, then simply driving on and telling his passenger, "Never look back."

Mussolini was so admired by the monied Fascists running the USSA that Butler, the most popular military hero in the country, was arrested and court martialed by Henry Stimson, Secretary of War. Butler was ordered to retract his statement. Butler refuse and was forced to retire from the Marines. The Rockeller-connected Stimson has, of course, a soft soft for dictators, having himself been dictator of the U.S.-occupied Philippines under the Coolidge regime.

Only a year later 47,000 protesters, including 17,000 veterans of World War One, hard hit by the Depression, marched on Washington, DC, to press for early payment of U.S. Army Service Certificates. 

The protesters, known as the Bonus Army, set up camps in the hope that their presence will convince the Senate to pass the bill for early payment of the Certificates, a measure which had already passed the House.

President Herbert Hoover decides that we can't be havin' no democratic protests in Washington, DC and orders police to expel the veterans.

Police shoot and kill two veterans. Hoover then orders the Army in to drive the veterans from the Capitol.

The U.S. Army's 12th Infantry Regiment, commanded by the heroic General Douglas MacArthur with the heroic Dwight D. Eisenhower at his side, and the 3rd Cavalry Regiment, complete with six battle tanks, commanded by the heroic Major George S. Patton, form in Pennsylvania Avenue as thousands of U.S. government employees line the street to watch the show.

 The Bonus Army, mistakenly assuming that the military action is a display in their honor, cheer the troops. Patton then orders his cavalry to charge the veterans.

Following the cavalry charge, infantry with fixed bayonets using chemical warfare agents invade the Bonus Army camps, expelling veterans and their families who flee across the Anacostia River. At this point, Hoover orders the Army assault against the veterans stopped.  General MacArthur, however, has other ideas. According to him, the Bonus March, like anything else we want to suppress these days in the land of the free, is a plot by the filthy Commie rats to overthrow the freedom-loving government of the U.S. MacArthur duly attacks the Bonus Army, murdering two veterans, murdering two babies by asphyxiation with poison gas, and injuring hundreds of men, women and children with gunfire, bayonets and poison gas.   The Bonus March is duly crushed and, naturally, no one is charged with murder.   General MacArthur is not court martialled for launching a murderous attack on American veterans in direct violation of an order from the president.

Deep distrust of the mafia/gangsters in pinstripe suits, the white shoe boys, who had brought about yet another financial catastrophe, this time the Great Depression, is a major factor in the election of Franklin Roosevelt as president.

During the campaign, Roosevelt speaks to huge crowds of "the ruthless manipulation of professional gamblers and the corporate system." He scorns the "economic nobles" who control a system which allows "a few powerful interests to make industrial cannon fodder of the lives of half the population."

As black soldiers return to the USSA from Europe, they run into exactly the same hatred and racism as returning black American soldiers did after World War One.

In some places in the South, to make sure that returning black soldiers don't get too damn uppity with all these crazy ideas about freedom, they are tortured and lynched. Among the victims is George Dorsey, a decorated veteran who had been awarded the Good Conduct Medal, the American Defense Service Medal and the Bronze Star.

Dorsey is lynched in Monroe, Georgia with his wife and another black couple.

GW: Take no offense to my comment above.  You earned your way to the top of the economic blogishpere, I truly respect you as a person.  If I was promoted for being white I'd hate myself if I was as effing inept as that POS chief.

You are not a chief.

David Walker, our former Comptroller General says that America's biggest deficit is its leadership deficit. This video exemplifies that.  You are the poster child of a leadership deficit.  Likely Oakland put you in as chief to be a poster child of a different reason. You make Hitler look good.  http://www.zerohedge.com/contributed/video-oakland-police-strike-peaceful-army-ranger-supporting-occupy-protest-lacerating-hi?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+zerohedge%2Ffeed+%28zero+hedge+-+on+a+long+enough+timeline%2C+the+survival+rate+for+everyone+drops+to+zero%29&utm_content=Google+Feedfetcher
