Pictures from Friday's Colin Powell De Anza Protest

too bad that there arent pictures of that happened after the berricades got torn down and the cops started being egged.

people started also started picking up rocks and smashing things.

several cop cars windows were smashed. the alarm at the flint center was set off. a near by "togos" got smashed.

People arrested a black man who was doing absolutely nothing(they also beat him.)

I heard that 15 people got detained at the end of the protest and the cops concentrated on people wearing traditional muslim clothing.(I wasnt there for this because cops started to single me and my friends out and one of them pointed his paintball gun at me and started moving towards me, me and my friend ran as fast as we could and jumped over some bushes, were followed by a large group of riot cops to his car, but we got out safely.)

I mean he was a good gy and all that, but don't people know of other historicla anarchists to have as their pseudonym.

Hi...Yeah, I have alot more pics..it just takes a real long time to upload each one individually on here...plus, I went to bed real late last night. It was crazy.

The cops were real racist and targeted the Muslim dressed protestors and at the end, surrounded and snagged a few of them while others were able to get away. (Total racial profiling.) The number I saw and was told were about 5? 1 african american (i have pics of that), 4 arab/muslim men. I also found out tonight that there were some protestors within the audience members who stood up and were then escorted out. I'm not sure how many of them there were..but they had gotten arrested as well. One Muslim kid is still in jail.

There were a bunch of anarchist youth that stomped over a police car and smashed the window.

Rocks (??) and eggs were thrown at the cops at one point. The fire alarm sirens went off twice but there were no evacuations. There was a point when the protestors were sort of barricaded by geared up cops (as one person described them as cop storm troopers) at all sides with few gaps in between. Near 11pm, the cops went crazy especially since there weren't many ppl there at that point and literally stormed ppl out of the De Anza parking lot and then even off the street and away 2-3 blocks!!! They were heavily dressed up and armed!

Anyhow, this is just a little part of the protest environment which Nestor brought up. More pics should be uploaded in awhile or a link given.

I have to say after going through most your pictures I find no comfort in the hate and descrimination you exhibit in your words.

It's a shame you couldn't let the "photodocumentation" stand by itself.

My suggestion if you were a reporter (and I'm going to assume you were considering the angle of some of your pictures) is that you approach your stories in the future without such an obvious bias.

If this is how our schools are teaching journalism no wonder our media is such a damned joke.

Lying for your cause does not help your cause. Ever.
