1. The Real Story is What Happened Next:

On Tuesday, Oakland Tribune staff photographer Karl Mondon snapped this shot of his colleague Ray Chavez covering Tuesday's mayhem. But the real story, as Chavez related to his Facebook friends, is what happened next:

 "Another cop grabbed my camera from the flash, broke it and threw it somewhere on the ground. Fortunately, I was able to find it in bad shape. But before I found it, I was hit with rubber bullets or tear gas canisters on my torso, where I have three bruises from that—I'm not crying, it's just for your info—May be the cop who was aiming down with the rifle shot me from a distance while I was taking other photos of the protesters being pushed back. What a crazy day/night! I'm glad I'm safe home now."

2. #HipsterCop, Meet #Navyman

Amidst the fog of teargas and flash-bang grenades, an inspiring figure in uniform appeared to be everywhere on Tuesday night:

Local news site The Bay Citizen got the best shots of #Navyman, as he was quickly dubbed on Twitter, and ID'd him as six-year Navy veteran Joshua Sheperd, who carried a copy of the U.S. constitution and a Veterans for Peace flag. (More great protest pics from The Bay Citizen here.)

3. Not-So-Fun Bean Bags

The Oakland Police Department may have violated its own crowd-control policy by firing bean-bag rounds at protesters. As MoJo's Gavin Aronsen reports, OPD can direct these painful projectiles only at individual targets posing serious threat of harm to police or others. But that's not what he and other saw Tuesday night.

4. The Woman in the Wheelchair

It's cool how the bright blue light of her this woman's wheelchair cuts through the yellow tear-gas fog.

5. Scott Olsen

Heartbreaking pictures of 24-year-old Iraq war veteran Scott Olsen. It's still not clear what type of police-fired projectile struck him in the head, but Oakland mayor Jean Quan visited Olsen in the hospital on Thursday and apologized, taking responsibility for his injury. Olsen's condition has been downgraded to fair from critical, and is now awake and lucid.

8. Cyclone Fence as Public Art

What became of a temporary fence erected around the former site of #occupyoakland's tent city after Tuesday morning's raid on the campsite. Protesters tore down the fence Wednesday night, with no police interference.

There's plenty more we could have included--Oakland Riot Kitty, tear-gas canister droppings, day-after bruises. Share your must-see pics from this ceaselessly intense week in Oakland in the comments.
