Default Iraq War Veteran in Critical Condition after Occupy Oakland police attack

This is unjustifiable police brutality:

Iraq War Veteran for Peace Scott Olsen, 24, is in critical condition with a skull fracture and brain swelling after peaceful protesters were attacked by police using tear gas, flash grenades and rubber bullets last night at Occupy Oakland.

As he lay unconscious and unmoving in front of the police line, multiple protesters ran to help him. A policeman in the line then lobbed another flash grenade on top of Olsen, scattering his helpers. Please look at the first video below, at least - caution, it is disturbing:

Here is the video showing Olsen laying there, and the second attack on his helpers:

Oakland Police have publicly denied using rubber bullets and flash bangs. There is ample video, from private people and ABC news, showing differently. ABC News had a live helicopter over the protest for several hours, documenting the multiple times police attacked the protesters to break them up
