Justin is seeing greedy green in terms of a lawsuit against the city, I'll wager.

I've posted photos of Justin as he is loaded onto a stretcher and into an ambulance: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1…

@iPortland - "Their" actions? He's the one who refused the eviction notice, and went up against riot police after being warned dozens or hundreds of times that force might be used.

The protester in the upper right who, at the beginning of the video, is throwing full punches at the police looks a lot like this guy: http://blogtown.portlandmercury.com/Blogto… I can only imagine he made the situation worse. On the other end of the fight, I have to wonder why some officers are doing overhead swings with their batons. That shit never looks good on video.

You can't see what's happening.

This ain't the 1960s, everyone has a camera and the cops know they're always being filmed.

And when you decide to confront riot police you've got bigger problems than a sore back.

The Occupy Portland media volunteers had seen Mr. Bridges at 7 am on Sunday. He was healthy, safe, and in good spirits. This was after the stand offs near Central Precinct, but before the clearing of Chapman Square.

The injuries he sustained were during police activity to clear Chapman Square.

Everyone in that video knows what they're doing. Cut the babes in the woods act.

Well said Blabby.

It looks like that squad did not follow the training procedure. The union will get them reinstated.

Back in MP school you had to spend 3 weeks as rioters, after messing up that bad, to learn how the baton is used in crowd control.

I wonder what video shot from the Police perspective would show? You don't see what caused the cop to start swinging, do you?
Let's not forget the cops did an amazing job at the task they were given by our Merc endorsed Mayor Adams.
This could become the standard nation wide for all cops on how to best engage a hostile crowd.
Our Police Force did one hell of a job, and deserve credit for their work.
