Thousands marched in the US city of Oakland on Wednesday night after clashes saw a protester's skull fractured, apparently by a non-lethal round fired by police. Veterans for Peace member Scott Olsen was on a respirator in hospital, and in a critical condition, after the incident on Tuesday night. His condition was upgraded to fair early on Thursday. Around 2,000 people took their protest to City Hall on Thursday night, where police stood off even as the group tore down a steel barricade. A nearby underground station was shut, and protesters marched through the city centre. Olsen, meanwhile, is recovering in hospital. The incident that left him with a fractured skull took place on Tuesday night as police from Oakland and neighboring departments attempted to prevent protesters re-occupying a protest camp that had been cleared in a dawn raid. Oakland police stated they did not fire rubber bullets or use stun grenades, but video emerged suggesting that both weapons were deployed from police lines. No formal complaint has been lodged, but police sources reportedly said an official investigation would be carried out. In cities like Phoenix and NYC, the protests also continued to grow.

the worst part of this is the banks 'donate' to the cops to have them arrest these people for protesting
