#Berkeley #StopPoliceViolence This is what really happened in Berkeley. Graphic Content: Police Riot in Violent Clash with Protesters in Berkeley Over Racist Police Actions Protesters at a police brutality demonstration claim the cops attacked first. #BerkeleyProtest Protest organizers claim that contrary to mainstream media reports, it was the police, not the protesters, who rioted on Saturday night on the outskirts of the University of California-Berkeley, provoking one of the most intense confrontations in the Bay Area in years (video below). “When we got up to march to the university, the cops went into major overkill,” Yvette Felarca said Sunday. She recounted what happened after several hundred marchers led by her group, the Coalition to Defend Affirmative Action, Integration, and Immigrant Rights and Fight for Equality By Any Means Necessary (BAMN), left a plaza in front of the Berkeley police station, where they marched to protest the police killings of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, and Eric Garner in New York City. “The cops blocked our way and stopped two feet ahead of our front line,” Felarca said, describing how rows of officers in riot gear appeared to face down marchers. “The cops lunged at them. They were attacking and it was completely out of pocket. People were like, ‘What the hell are you doing? This is completely unacceptable.’”
