Demonstrator violently arrested outside SF city hall!

by Looker911
Lone demonstrator, shouting anti-capitalism slogans and claiming to represent Neo-Socialism arrested and punched by police!
At about 2:30 on Friday, February 24, a lone demonstrator was viciously arrested by police in front of the City Hall as onlookers pointed and took photos. The protester was marching up and down Van Ness Ave side of the Hall, shouting anti-capitalism slogans and claiming to represent Neo-Socialism. Suddenly, two police cars pulled up, and within a minute they approtched the victim, and began pushing him. One tried to cover the Neo-Socialist protester's mouth, but after a moment, he punched the protester on the side of the face. A scuffle ensued, but four police officers were no match for the skinny protester. They pushed him into the grass beside the building, and then literally carried him to one of the cars, and pushed him through an open door. Seconds later, they were off, and the sidewalk was quiet like nothing violent had just happened.

What it happening to our city?!?!?! Can we protest in peace?

What it Neo-Socialism anyway? lol....well, I hope he escapes or the let him go soon.
