Photos and movie clips from 5PM rally at Market and Union Square on 3/22

by Leslie H. Spaiser (leslie [at] spaiser.net)
This was the scene in the Union Square downtown hub from 5 PM until about 7 PM.



I arrived at 5 PM for the planned re-convergence of daylong rallies and marches - at Market and Powell. I observed starting at Union Square and roamed that area taking this photo record of the scene.

Tried to publish these on SF INDY 3/23 PM but not able to. Check out my own website for good photos and three (5 sec ea.) movie clips of the SFPD acting like a occupying army.

But I saw no violence, probably because I just showed up at a "peaceful time."

Also there were around 1000 demonstrators (and innocent bystanders) in custody by then, probably the majority of those who had the courage to perform acts of civil disobedience, like block traffic. Apparently the scenes pictured above were not typical of earlier in the day when there was a lot of fighting in the streets and police violence.
