From the Guardian...
(I)nterim police chief, Howard Jordan, was similarly defensive when he spoke to reporters, denying that his men had used rubber bullets or flash-bang grenades, as some protesters alleged and adding: "It's unfortunate it happened. I wish that it didn't happen. Our goal, obviously, isn't to cause injury to anyone."How can someone lie in the face of such condemning evidence? It certainly looks like a flash-bang grenade was tossed right in the middle of those protestors trying to help out a fallen protestor; a Marine who survived two tours in Iraq only to return to the United States and get his skull fractured for peaceful unarmed protest.
While on the topic of the Occupy Movement...
Several people have complained recently about protestors destroying parks. We could debate that point. I choose not to. Assume their occupation destroys the parks they inhabit. Better a few trampled parks than one trampled United States Constitution (First Amendment). Anyone else have good responses to these types?

I heard several of the protesters say "fuck" so with that kind of sever language how can they be considered peaceful. How does that go... sticks and stones may break my bones but words hurt bunches?
I always wonder who these enforcers of the law are who are so willing to harm and hurt others at the first chance given?
I would support the first amendment over parks any day.
Either those are flash bangs or they really sell some strong fire works out there.
