I would add George Bush to the mix and Hank Paulson as well, but I think the creator of this photo did a pretty solid job satirizing the madness of bailouts.

VIDEO - Marine Scott Olsen Moments Before He Was Shot By The Oakland Police, Olsen Now In 'Critical' Condition
If the police claim that Scott Olsen attacked them, show them this clip.
Olsen remains in critical condition. Officials at Highland Hospital in Oakland are refusing further comment at this time. At first, Doctors told Olsen's friends that he was stable. Now they're being told that his skull has been fractured and his brain is beginning to swell. Neurologists are in the process of determining whether or not he will require surgery.
According to Keith Shannon, a friend who served with Olsen in Iraq, Olsen was shot in the head with a tear gas or smoke canister, and he has the scar to prove it. Police policy specifically prohibits the firing of these weapons at a person's head.
Meanwhile, Oakland police admit that they used tear gas and baton rounds, but have denied the use of flash bang grenades (even though this video shows conclusively that an officer lobbed a flash grenade into the crowd attending to Olsen).
Olsen hails from Wisconsin, served tours of Iraq in 2006 and 2007, and is active in both Veterans for Peace and Iraq Veterans Against the War.

VIDEO - Anonymous Sends Solidarity Message To Injured Marine Scott Olsen Of Occupy Oakland
ANONYMOUS also temporarily knocked out the Oakland police website, and released personal information about Oakland police officers.
- Scott Olsen, it has come to our attention that you have been critically injured by the Oakland Police Department for standing up for the American peoples' First Amendment Rights. The honor and courage you have displayed on the battlefield is only overshadowed by the cowardice and dishonor displayed by those who have committed these inhumane crimes against you. As you stand in solidarity with the people of the world, Anonymous stands in solidarity with you Scott. A bullet to the head of our brother is a bullet to the head of us all. We may not share the physical pain and hardships you are enduring, but know that we feel the emotional turmoil that comes along with this injury that being inflicted on you has been inflicted on all free Americans.
Members of “Occupy Oakland” have called for a city-wide strike on November 2, and hope to shut down the local government to express their displeasure with officials who authorized the brutal police crackdown.

REVENGE - Police Brutality Handled In The Right Way
With the brutality from Occupy Oakland still on our minds, this clip demonstrates what should happen to police who cross the line. A futbol player gets it started with a kick to the head of one of the offending officers. Then all hell breaks loose. The only problem is that the main perpetrator escapes punishment as he scurries into the locker room.
