This should make everyone mad

From the San Francisco Chronicle:
Scott Olsen, 24, a Marine veteran who did two tours in Iraq, was hit by a police projectile during the brutal police crackdown on Occupy Oakland on 10/26. He is in serious but stable condition at an Oakland hospital with traumatic head injury. Scott is a member of Iraq Veterans Against the War.
Also: Video footage distributed on the Internet shows a protester, identified as Olsen, being carried away by others with a head wound. The cause was unclear. While he lay wounded, the footage appears to show an officer tossing something - perhaps a tear gas canister - toward people trying to help him.

Update: From my Bay area friend Susie-Donate to the Cause:
