Protests get even more out of hand as police begin attacking the students.

Digg it: http://digg.com/world_news/UC_Berkele...

At approximately 5 am on Friday, November 20th, students at UC Berkeley took over a campus building (Wheeler Hall), barricading themselves inside to protest the 32 percent increase in student fees and recent custodial lay-offs. Police soon arrived to close off the building and surrounding area.

The crowds of protesters you see in this video surrounding the building are joining the protest against the fee hikes and custodial layoffs as well as demanding amnesty for any student protestors facing arrest inside.

Later that evening after about a 12 hour stand off, the students inside were released in intervals and cited only for trespassing. The released students were met with cheer and applause by the outside protestors.

The clashes between police and student protestors like the one in this video occurred throughout the day and night, outside multiple sections of the building.

Other videos of clashes that day (If any of you find others, please msg them to me):

    I feel sorry for the students - I myself would not want to pay the extra money especially in this economy where graduating students might NOT find a job.

    Nevertheless, as far as I recall, UC Berkeley had a very high percentage of Asian students from wealthy families in the Far East and they're willing to pay the higher tuition fees instituted by UC Regents. They're lining up to get into US based universities and they'll be happy to take up a seat left behind a disgruntled UC Berkely student.

    You weren't there. It may 'look' like something different to you, but it felt like an attack. Those batons are not soft, just so you know. And a fat ass cop is a lot heavier than a lot of ppl so with that much force, it hurts.

    ps-have you seen the pepper spray video from UC Davis? Explain how that isn't attacking ppl. The guy walks up and down the line and keeps spraying over and over again, as the kids (students! at their own fucking school) huddle together to block it.

    We protested in the streets of Central America in the 70s for better conditions in our schools (we were only HS teens) We were repelled with real live bullets. We knew the risks and the danger but somehow also knew it was our duty to speak out so others after us would have better opportunities. I believe things haven't gotten much better for them after so many years but some change came nonetheless and for the better. We can all look back and see we made things a bit better. It was all worth it.

    "Shame on You" Sounds like something protesters from a retirement home would chant. Where is the tear gas at when you need it.

    Please...the police "attacked the people"? Really? Looks like the police were trying to establish order and safety but the protesters kept resisting. I would love for the media to show this on TV - it would show how ridiculous the protesters were. "We're not violent, how about you"? Ha...yeah...keep thinking that...

    I didn't see an attack there....looked like some dumb dickheads were trying to push right through the cops so the cops stopped them. I'm actually all about protesting, but how can you not expect to get hit in the face with a night stick when you start shoving cops?
