On Friday, about 150 students staged a protest inside Fresno High during morning classes. When they tried to jump the fence to join other protestors downtown, they were charged by the police and forced back on campus. There was a report of 2 students being hit with tasers and a parent being arrested for assulting an officer. In all, 220 students were detained on Friday. That compares to 200 who were detained on Wednesday. Other students from some middle and high schools found their way downtown. A group of about 150 gathered in Courthouse Park and attempted to march down the Mariposa Mall to City Hall, where they believed they would be safe and not arrested. As the students came to “N” street, which is about 2 blocks from City Hall, they were confronted by patrol cars with their lights flashing, police on bicycles, and officers from the Gang Suppression Unit of the FPD (MAGIC). The students were told that they would not be allowed to move any further toward City Hall and were forced to return to Courthouse Park. Full reports here, and here.
