The DA dropped all charges against all seven of the antiwar protesters (and IMC reporter) arraigned this morning at San Francisco's Hall of "Justice," including two with broken bones due to outrageous police brutality. "Completely illegal" is how the protesters' lawyer describes the SFPD's mass detention and arrest of antiwar demonstrators exercising their rights to protest an insane and out of control war. The protesters arraigned today were arrested on March 19 and 20 and originally charged with various misdemeanors and traffic infractions. Two protesters targeted for felony arrests are next in line for arraignment, on Thursday, March 25 at 9 a.m., 850 Bryant Street.
