at a point where the police car was smashed, there were several ppl from the crowd throwing eggs (i heard afterwards going from several ppl to others) and a few rocks(?) at the cops who were guarding the backstage entrance and Powell decoy car. i wasn't able to take any pics of that as they were random and hard to capture.

In the previous picture, Cops intimidating on lookers, photographers from getting close as they have a male down; threatening with the spray...one photographer was jabbed a few times as he came close taking a couple of snaps.
Moving him to the car...

streetlights..
This is around 11pm. They announce that those who arent moving forward will be arrested yet some of those who had taken off are being tracked by motorcycle cops, and other cops go forward menacingly forcing the remaining few who were still observing two blocks away from this public community college!!!!!
(later a letter from the DeAnza president asserts that the cops began taking in the few protesters who were considered violent and nonstudents which isn't true. ppl were just observing and some of them were waiting to enter parking lots back to their cars). Cops also marched by and blocked areas at Stevens Creek and extended into the shopping center towards Coffee Society..
Look closely, Cops are marching fwd out on the streets..

total police state image (as if there was a curfew or violent confrontations by all the protesters)!

"this is what a police state looks like!"
As you can see, this is the public street Stevens Creek. (light and walkcross)
