SFPD really has the protect part down, at least for private property and big business. Maybe some day soon we will be able to teach them more about serving, reign in their abusive ways, and hold them accountable for excessive force in protests and the community. Only 5 people were arrested and I will post more pics later today of some of the arrests and more from the breakaway. Let's just remember to not forgot our sisters and brothers, like Cammerin Boyd, who have been killed by the police and still get no justice even in their death. Hold the police accountable, stop police brutality!!

thanks for posting the pics...it's amazing how the cops show up in droves and for what?? at least it gave the mid-western tourists something to write home about...

yes, those helios flying over the pier were the sfpd. i counted four while waiting for the ferry.

The splinter group went from the plaza all the way down to pier 39. We tried to get in but the cops said we would all be under arrest, so we marched all the back and just stood there waiting for the cops to go away. A few people got arrested, which could have been easily avoided if the police had understood that they could leave and stop inciting violence.
Oh well...

The job of the police is to incite violence and to commit acts of violence. Why would they want to go away and let a perfectly good opportunity to provoke a riot pass?

You have no idea. I know which person you were. I was walking next to you and your friend who wouldn't give up her pepper spray. I just wanted to let you know you were stupid and had no knowledge of what the police were doing. That's OK, maybe when you get a little older, you will understand. Until then, make sure you don't eat too much. You will continue to get fat.

Way to make yourself look like an immature dumbass. Yeah, you are probably right about me growing up and understanding. But, I can learn and "excersize my fat ass". YOU can't fix UGLY. How's that for a fourth grade come back, hahaha.
