Police Brutality hits UC Berkeley: Eyewitness account

Yesterday at the University of California -- Berkeley, 39 people were arrested including an English professor. The arrest came after approximately one-thousand protesters came together to rally against tuition increases and public education funding cuts. In an attempt to break up the protesters, police used their batons to hit non-violent participants in the ribs and elsewhere. Eric Uribe, a student protester, tells us what it was like on the frontlines of police brutality. He was just one of the victims of yesterday's assault.

The news cares about what people want to watch. If people want to see whats happening with penn. state then the news is going to show more coverage of it, because they make more money. Like they actually care about what's more important.

Selling broken products, buying insurance for them & betting on their malfunctioning in the future is fraud & racketeering to the highest degree.

If you can't accept that as the root of all upcoming civil commotions you should research & deal with politics at times - or politics will someday deal with you...
