CHP -- the only terrorists on GG Bridge today

by anonymous copwatch
The only "terrorists" to be found on Golden Gate Bridge today were the California Highway Patrol. In full riot armor, with teargas bombs strapped to their chest, the CHP attacked people young and old, hitting them with metal nightsticks and spraying chemicals into their faces. A young 14-year-old girl was beaten repeatedly, and arrested. Over 25 other people were arrested.
1. Shame on all the sectarian groups who did not come to this protest because they think they are better than everyone else and prefer to play social games instead of fighting to win. Fuck you.

2. The cops were out of control. There were Coast Guard cutters, dozens and dozens of riot cops from the Highway Patrol, dozens of Park Police (who carry guns), cop videographers, cops on horseback, etc.

3. The protest organizers were very brave and continued on with the protest as planned. It came off pretty good.

4. The pigs were out of control, jabbing people in the back for "not walking fast enough," using pepper spray, attacking children, etc.

5. The pictures should be interested.

6. Again, an Indymedia journalist was targeted and arrested.

7. Several pigs were wearing American flag bandanas under their metal riot helmets. They did not interfere when several redneck-type assholes violently yelled at the group, telling those in attendance to "go back to your caves" or "this is my country and my bridge, not yours."
