Occupy San Francisco’s “Day of Action” turned violent Friday night when protesters occupied an abandoned hotel and began throwing objects at police officers from the roof, police said.
“Once they gained access [to the hotel], some of them made it to the top of the roof and they then began to throw bibles down at the officers,” San Francisco Police Department spokesman Carlos Manfredi said.
“One of officers was struck with a brick to the chest and one of our lieutenants was struck in the hand with an object and may have damaged or even broken his hand,” he said.
I told you this was going to escalate...

Yes, you certainly did.:) Summer should be worst.
ReplyDeleteWhy did the Occupiers throw bricks? The Movement has been promoted as a peaceful protest gaining much support because of it, mine f'sure. Actions like throwing objects or intending to harm others, including the police who have on occasion harmed Occupiers, only goes to undermine public endorsement.
