Photography Is Not A Crime of the Day: Just when you think the Oakland PD’s response to Occupy Oakland couldn’t get any worse, a new video emerges to prove you wrong.

YouTuber antiprocon writes:

While filming a police line at Occupy Oakland after midnight on Nov. 3 following the Nov. 2 general strike, an officer opens fire and shoots me with a rubber bullet. I was standing well back. There was no violence or confrontations of any kind underway.

The incident starts @ 0:31, when a tall police officer can be seen raising his rifle. Moments later a shot is heard, followed immediately by a clearly visible smoke trail.
