OccupySF: Civil Disobedience and Police Brutality (VIDEO)

[The Muslim Agorist]

Wednesday night OccupySF consisted of approximately 200 protesters who built a tent city on the grounds of the Federal Reserve Building. The encampment included a working kitchen with propane powered stove, a communications center with power generator, and an infirmary. Although they had previously been told the tents would be permitted, SFPD said that they would need to be taken down. The campers complied with these orders.

At 2:00 am Thursday morning 80 officers in riot gear raided the encampment anyway. Police formed a perimeter separating the protesters from their supplies as the Department of Public Works seized nine truckloads of tents, communications equipment, medical supplies, food and other donations.

Protesters responded by forming a human chain to impede them from stealing their supplies. Police responded by cracking skulls, which protesters say was excessive force. You be the judge. The first blow from the police occurs one minute in.
