Fullerton police began making random arrests during a protest against the Kelly Thomas verdict Saturday, including pouncing on an independent journalist who was live streaming the action. Although police managed to turn off PMBeer’s camera, whose first name is apparently Patti, her footage remained accessible on the internet. PMBeer had been live streaming for more than an hour before that, reporting that police had arrested other photographers as protesters and police squared off with each other in the streets. But the protest seemed to have winded down after they had congregated in a park after nightfall. However, an activist told PMBeers that undercover cops were arresting protesters for no apparent reason as they were walking away from the park. Eventually, more cops came swarming to make arrests. PMBeers followed the cops making the arrests, trying to capture it on her camera when she was arrested herself. The footage is dark and grainy, but it is pretty obvious she was not interfering in anyway...
