| Oakland police engaged in actions and use of weapons that soldiers are war are not permitted to do. The shooting of a tear gas canister directly at a person is a violation of rules of engagement that US soldiers operated under in facing the Taliban. A former marine with special crowd control training said: 'How did a cop who is supposed to have training on his weapon system accidentally SHOOT someone in the head with a 40mm gas canister? Simple. He was aiming at him.' The person that pulled that trigger has no business being a cop. He sent that round out with the intention of doing some serious damage to the protestors. I don't care what the protestors were doing. I never broke my rules of engagement in Iraq or Afghanistan. So I can't imagine what a protester in the states did to deserve a headshot with a 40mm. ...that cop knows he was using lethal force against a protester.. |
