Berkeley’s chancellor responds to the police brutality against the student protesters in a silly little letter. Look at this nonsense: “It is unfortunate that some protesters chose to obstruct the police by linking arms and forming a human chain to prevent the police from gaining access to the tents. This is not non-violent civil disobedience.”
The ultimate hypocrisy of the all the government and police officials crackdown nationwide against the occupy movement is their statements that they are preventing encampments to ensure the health and safety of the protesters. There’s nothing like cracking skulls with batons to enforce health standards!
Seriously, I truely feel sorry for UCPD. I mean they are dealing with distilled version of pure stupidity. Oh no, starving student of U.C. Berkeley are struggling to find financial security! Oh no! If they don’t protest about the status quo, they are going to be miserable for the rest of their lives.
