Demonstrators March onto the 880 Freeway (unedited raw video clip)

After the rally against cuts to education in front of Oakland City Hall a group of about 200 demonstrators march up an off ramp of the 880 and onto the freeway blocking traffic.

I apologize for the quality of the video. I had to keep moving and if I had gotten any closer I would have been arrested. A policewoman hit me with a club (knocking the battery off of my camera) and then after the cop with the bullhorn told his minions to arrest me I ran and jumped a fence. More video to come...

Wow people are trying to get home because they have JOBS. Yeah a few people cheered but you know how angry people get when you block their way home. Yeah the cops should have thrown all of them in jail for 3 weeks for disturbing the peace.

@chillaxer1993 "Chillax" man, there will be inconveniences in the process of making this world a better place for all of us to live. Deal with it.

@JoelBitarProductions Thanks bro. In my opinion though the march to the freeway was even better. Did you see the video " March Fourth After Party / March " ?

@xxcuzxxme me too. that was some crazy shit.

@severintsunami The police have the right to shoot people engaging in civil disobedience? Are you sure about that? Maybe in your strange little world but not under the law that they serve.

@severintsunami ... but it wasn't counterproductive. Even the people that were stuck in traffic cheered them on. This action made headlines. It was a success.

@TomVeeTV God forbid the demonstration actually makes a point to the right people and thus gains support from the public instead of angering them. Can't a bunch of UCB students figure out some more creative ways to get attention that prove or further a point without alienating their cause?? When they are out of school and WORKING FOR A LIVING they will know why doing that was counterproductive.
