Golden Gate Bridge Protestors attacked by police

by police violence
They were way over board
ggbridgearrest3.jpgs10878.jpg
Police stopped our march before we got to the other side of the bridge and said we had to turn around - the permit would expire by a few mintes by the time we got back - and when people resisted turning around they violently arrested people, using pepper spray and grabbing people if they walked too slow.

Later, they attacked us to move us out of the parking lot - they rushed us from behind with their batons and pushing us, making us run, and then grabbed a young Arab girl and dragged her across the street.

It was way too violent. Tourists were baffled.
