Excellent interview from Rolling Stone magazine with Scott Olsen, the veteran ex-marine shot in the head with a 40mm tear gas canister by the Oakland Police Department while peacefully protesting as part of Veterans for Peace.

For those of you new to the story here is a short clip of Oakland Police throwing more tear gas and a flashbang at peaceful protesters rushing to aid Olsen after he is critically wounded. I warn you, it is very difficult to watch this happen to an American serviceman on American streets at the hands of American police.
