He should hang with a better class of people.
So if I am injured by police as I rob a bank or hijack a car it’s news?
Prayers for his recovery.
So, an anti-war protest group was trying to retake a park the police had evicted them from, and by so doing were clearly in violation of the law.
I pray this guy recovers and am grateful for his service...but he is hanging with the wrong people and being used to violate the very oath he took to the constitution.
Jeremiah Wright also served...he was a U.S. Marine...but he went wrong thereafter and now hates America.
Do not know what kind of projectile is was but know it came from the police? It would not be the first time this kind tried to sacrifice one of their own for their cause. Either way, hope he recovers.
Here’s some video from the Guardian...

I think it is important to state we need to be prepared for reports like these. And to realize this kind of report will be used to raise incitement levels.
I pray for his recovery and I pray for our country.
As to Jeremiah Wright...I can understand exactly the feeling. He ha, IMHO, stained the honor of those he served with and the oath he took. I hope this individual will not go down the same path. But by being with these people, particularly the anti-war crowd, and by willfully disobeying the law, he placed himself in that position and was injured as a result.
2012 and the elections and January 2013 cannot come soon enough.
These clowns screaming for a medic like they are in some no chit combat zone. The guy they are carrying may have had his ass in the grass, they most likely did not.
Drama queens were told to pop smoke and they chose to stay.
Sorry for the veteran but he chose to be with these clowns.
Here’s some advice—don’t throw things at cops, and don’t stand next to someone who is throwing things at cops.
Sure, but the police ROE doesn’t include flash bangs into the head.
IVAW has been connected with some real suspicious people (phony soldiers, as well as those who never served in Iraq), which makes me want to know more information about this person.
I agree. Notice the T-Shirt he is wearing: Veterans for Peace.
Anyone who has anything to do with this organization has turned his back on those he served with. These pieces of crap are cut from the same cloth as those who vilified our soldiers in Vietnam, even if they did serve.
There is a shelf life on how much respect and support someone who fights for our country gets. It is not unlimited. If anyone wants to argue this point, one need look no further than Benedict Arnold. There is a man who should have and did command the respect of his fellow countrymen, but his name is now synonymous with traitor. As it should be. These people are no different.
I usually give leeway to and respect veterans in their opinions, but any veteran who joins this anti-American group is lost to me, as far as I am concerned. I will stand with the other veterans.
I hope the guy recovers, but you sleep with dogs, you wake up with fleas.
I am grateful for his service and I’m sorry he was injured, but he willfully participated in an illegal assembly. He and the others were ordered to disperse and they chose instead to defy the law and continue with their illegal acts. To do this carries some risk and it turned out badly for this man, unfortunately.
Well said. I have faced off against these evil, filthy traitors. I harbor no more sympathy for them than I did for Rachel Corrie.
For it’s Tommy this, and Tommy that, and “Chuck him out the brute!”
But it’s “Saviour of ‘is country”, when the guns begin to shoot
Good ol’ Kipling.
