There is no excuse for this kind of police brutality, at all. If a protestor did this to a police officer, they would be thrown in jail and likely receive a stiff sentence. Yet the system is allowed to perpetuate violence against citizens.
I'm all in favor of peaceful protest, but eventually you have to fight back when you are faced with systemic violence. There is no excuse for the police cracking a person's head open in order to disband a crowd.
Shame, shame, shame on the police, and the Oakland city hall for disbanding a lawful, peaceful assembly of the people. As if it's UP to them as to whether or not the First Amendment gets honored.
