1. Wow aren't those really tough cops... Beating up kids...

Guess what, the kids didn't back down. Good to see. oh, and GO CAL!!!!

[Lint Head]

2. They are so brave.

This movement will only grow as long as people are being ignored and suppressed.

3. wtf

[Kaleko]

4. The cops just start attacking out of the blue,

beat up defenseless people, then suddenly stop, without an inch gained in territory.

What they hope to achieve with that is incomprehensible to me.

5. Here is a cursory analysis of the video:

(Officers Listed in Approximate Order from the Left Side of the Screen During the Course of the Video)

officer (visible sleeve insignia)
dark helmet w/neck gaiter (no chevrons)
helmet #47 (no chevrons)
helmet #79 (no chevrons)
helmet #14 (chevrons)
helmet #63 (no chevrons)
helmet #73 (no chevrons)
helmet #13 (chevrons)
helmet #38 (no chevrons)
helmet #32 (no chevrons)

background officer (visible sleeve insignia)
video officer (no chevrons)
LD or LP (?) (no chevrons)

It looks like #14 started the attack with baton thrusts. The helmet numbers need to be verified.

6. Wow. You're good!

If that's preliminary sleuthing on your part, I'd like to see you go all the way.

Hope you will post your findings on YouTube also.

7. If they would only fight real crime with the same enthusiasm. Maybe beginning with the banksters.

They look silly: a herd of bullies playing Darth Vader in their little outfits, unaware of the far-reaching consequences of their pathetic actions. I know Berkley isn't the same place it was in past generations, but I hope some of the old determination pours out of the University. As always, power to these brave young people who have put themselves in harm's way.

[Denver Progressive]

8. I really feel for those kids getting hit in the stomach

it's just brutal. And at 0:41 on the bottom left side of screen, for a split second a cop comes up behind a guy and puts his baton over a guys head and quickly pulls it back.:wtf: indeed!
:grr:

[WillyT]

9. Kick !!!

:kick:

10. This gives me chills

that's where I work. The Chancellor better come out and re-enforce the University's zero policy regarding violence on campus.

[Devil_Fish]

11. Thats a great idea. What does the rules say about zero tolerance?

Do they say it's ok if your wareing a badge? If not can all thouse cops be expelled from campus?? THey should be.

[lunatica]

12. They are campus cops

They work for the University. Their police station is in the basement level of that very building in the video.

[Better Believe It]

13. As we can see the cops are valuable and loyal allies of our movements
