SFPD Tactics and Weaponry

by Greg
Cops trap citizens on sidewalk, won't allow people freedom to leave area, regardless of their involvement in protest action or not.

Around 5PM on March 22, protestors on Market Street were ordered to the sidewalks.

Suddenly about 100 cops closed ranks and trapped everyone - shoppers, protestors, anyone who happened to be on the sidewalk - we told they were not to attempt to cross the line.

A little later, after they finally allowed people to walk away, heavily armed officers were spotted on 7th Street - check out the photos.
