Copy the code below to embed this movie into a web page:
Following the house of representatives vote to give bush authority to attack iraq, the federal building was occupied territory for about 16 hours. 25-30 people were arrested. Mostly at the Turk Street Entrance, arrests that were ritualized and conducted with dignity.

The main entrance's were heavily barricaded and with the Turk side a huge police presence, federal and sfpd.

The parking lot entrances were baricaded only by people. A line of protestors and about ten feet back a line of cops.

On the Larkin St side, protestors, duct taped themselves wrist to wrist across driveway.

"Security" seemed more agressive at this location.

Here is video of the arrest. More follows.
