SAN FRANCISCO -- One San Francisco police officer was slashed by a razor and another had his uniform torn and cheek cut in a clash with Occupy San Francisco protesters Saturday afternoon, authorities said. [...]

A female protester emerged from the crowd and an "exacto razor blade attached to a pen or pencil-like object," San Francisco police said in an email.

"The female slashed the inside of the officer's hand and ran back into the crowd before the officer had time to realize he was cut," police said.

In a second incident, a protester grabbed an officer's police radio and ran back into the crowd. As the officer attempted to retrieve it, a second protester blocked the officer and tore his uniform and cut his cheek, police said, intimating that a weapon had been used.

The officer retrieved his radio and both male demonstrators escaped into the crowd, police said.

San Jose Mercury News is a decent source too.

It's time to stop this Occupy crap. They've said their piece. Now it's time to go home. They're either attracting or inciting violence.

If they want to protest during the day fine, I get it, but after seeing the mess they left in Portland that will cost taxpayers thousands of dollars I say they go home at night and if I were the city I would send every identified protester a bill for the cost of cleanup and damages.

This sounds a lot like a shank. And IMO this justifies deadly force. Start shooting these fuckers who come at you with weapons.

It's San Francisco. The risk of HIV (a dirty razor could do it) with such an attack makes it attempted murder.

At this point, ANY of these vermin that fail to immediately execute the orders of a police officer should be dragged in cuffs into the dirtiest jail they can find. ANY of these vermin that take so much as a step toward the police should catch a non-lethal round to the chest (It will take the fight out of them immediately)! Those that are ID and those arrested should be charged the full amount of cleanup and additional cost of police action.:mad:

I am with you, Ampat. Except for the "non-lethal" part.

FNH makes some awesome "Less-Than-Lethal" crowd control devices.

The FN-303 is one of my favorites. We used it in Iraq quite a bit.

It's basically a paint-ball gun on steroids. Likes like something out of a science fiction movie.

Trust me, you get hit with this thing and you're going down in the fetal. Plus, it leaves a very noticible welt and paint mark for easy identification in a crowd.

Of course, once the crowd produces razor blades, I'd opt for a M320 and flechette rounds.
