    This is video, reportedly shot during the OccupyCal protests yesterday, November 9, of Berkeley, California police officers driving their batons into the stomachs of protesters at UC Berkeley, who appear to be doing nothing but linking arms and voicing opinions.  The officers in the middle are striking the two women directly in front of them square in the gut, ruthlessly and mercilessly.  I don’t see any projectiles thrown or anything else that could possibly justify the brutality we’re seeing here.   Unless cops just don’t like the concept of peaceful protests.

    Reblog this, folks.
