Experts: "Occupy" video shows excessive force - CBS News
Earlier in the day, the Oakland Tribune reported Scott Campbell said police shot him with a rubber bullet or beanbag while he was videotaping a standoff between authorities and demonstrators following a "general strike" last week. In the video (Warning: Contains language that may be offensive to some people), viewers can clearly hear Campbell asking police officers if it was okay to film at least three times. In response, one officer fired a non-lethal projectile weapon at him. Experts in police use of force say it appears the volley that hit Campbell was unprovoked and inappropriate.
