From the Paper:
"As tensions rose between protestors and police around the country, several eruptions of violence occurred. One of the most prominent took place at Occupy Oakland on October 25,2 011, when protestor Scott Olsen was struck in the head by a police-fired canister. The former marine was left with significant head injuries and was placed in critical care. Another famous incident occurred when a retired teacher, Dorli Rainey, was pepper sprayed in the face by police at Occupy Seattle. The 84-year-old woman's attack was photographed moments after, creating one of the most galvanizing images of the movement."Sample of Sources Used:
