If you know youre going to start a riot and hurt a lot of people, be sure and dress for it. We, the people of the USA, are getting pushed further and further into non-existent public Free Speech Zones by Peace Officers wearing SWAT uniforms and inciting violent conflicts with Constitutionally law abiding citizens. The long awaited revolution against this kind of paramilitary tyranny will definitely not be shown on FOX News or CNN...but it will be viewable on YouTube and other video hosting social networking sites thanks to all the citizen journalists who, at least for now, cant be silenced by the government that orders these uniformed thugs to do battle with the same people they want us to believe they exist to Protect and Serve. We all know thats bullshit now, dont we? Police continue to assault peaceful demonstrators while corporate news media censors the violence. At 5PM on 12/6/14, hundreds of UC Berkeley students and Berkeley residents began a peaceful march from Sproul Plaza to the Berkeley Marina to protest the deaths of Michael Brown, Eric Garner, Tamir Rice, and countless other brown and black youth at the hands of police. Along the way, police set up barricades and fired rubber bullets and smoke bombs, shattering one students knee and causing another student to have a seizure. The injured were not allowed to seek medical attention and were instead corralled by riot police. The group eventually made its way back to Sproul Plaza, where students were once again herded like sheep around the Bancroft/Telegraph area. This video begins with riot police forcing students south down Telegraph, which only caused more Cal, Berkeley High, and City College students to join the struggle. The demonstrators were pushed all the way down Telegraph by waves of tear gas until they reached the border of Oakland, where the riot police finally dissipated. This is a sample of what the citizen journalists were able to capture on two cameras - theres a LOT more the cameras were unable to film. Please share this video! youtu.be/CVmyMKtmwU4 Hal Porter
