Berkeley Tree-Sit and Extractor June 17 2008: Very Rough Cut

A sample of footage taken June 17, 2008 from Memorial Stadium of tree-sitters and the UC agents charged with stealing all their supplies. UCPD subsequently shut off public access to the area from where this footage was shot with citations and threat of arrest.

This was a very quick reel I put together so press would have some images from up in the air, sorry about the fast-forwarding and rewinding and stuff.

I thought it was convenient that when the tree-shitter was swinging an obect on the end of a rope upward at the worker on the crane harness, the video is sped up and skips that part.

I can assure you that there is no violence against extarctors on this tape. The fastforwarding is just so I could whip this out and get a few gorgeous shots to press the same day. Posting it on youtube was an afterthought.

It's good to know that the neo-hippies were peaceful that day. Thanks for the clarification. I retract my inference. :)
