(Videos on YouTube are getting tens of thousands of hits.) Here's a sample roundup of the coverage:

Never in my life have I seen police act in as viscious a manner as watching this debacle Livestream on 10/25/2011. Your police chief had the nerve to tell the press there were no flashbombs - it was firecrackers...maybe he could get away with that before Livestream media. The treatment of the veteran Scott Olsen and the little group who tried to rescue his body from the street was appalling. You could see the police lob the flash/concussion bomb right into the center of the people as they lifted him from the street. Way to go.......!
The Mayor needs to resign. I can only hope that the injured sue the city, the Mayor and the police (all the departments that were called in to help)for what they did to them. There was no excuse for the level of violence.
I am a 62 year-old woman from the East coast....not some dirty hippie - so you cannot use that as an excuse to dismiss my statement.
