Former US Marine struck in head by "non-lethal" projectile and now in critical condition with a fractured skull. The police stood by and did nothing for the prone, critically injured man lying in the street just feet away. Those being chased away with burning chemical agents for violating curfew in an act of civil disobedience saw this and rushed to his aid. The police lobbed a flash-bang GRENADE at them and the injured man. Flashbang grenades are used to temporarily blind, can cause permanent hearing damage and are usually RESERVED for use on armed subjects during SWAT style raids. The Oakland police should be ashamed. Instead they denied using flashbang grenades and LIED stating that they were just some fireworks set off by the protesters.
