Police officers knocked down and clubbed a young woman during an anti-police march in Oakland late Saturday night, and arrested six people.
Video of the incident uploaded to YouTube showed the young woman riding her bicycle towards a small group of officers. As she approached, officers shoved her to the ground and at least one clubs her with his baton.
Protesters quickly rushed to her aid, and dragged her away from police.
An “Occupy Oakland” press release said the “Fuck the Police” march was held to protest the “brutal campaign of repression” conducted by Oakland police to prevent protesters from re-establishing their camp in Frank Ogawa Plaza. It describes the City of Oakland as a “war zone.”
About 100 people marched from Frank Ogawa Plaza to the Oakland Police headquarters at 7th and Broadway, where more than 50 officers stood guard.
Police clashed with the protesters after some people threw bottles at the officers. Police spokeswoman Johnna Watson said the protesters also broke patrol vehicle windows and vandalized a media van.

"If you watch the video, you will see the young lady had a carry on on the back of her bike... Many cyclists carry their children in these carry ons, I wonder if there were any children in it???"

The police protect and serve private property that is their only mission anymore...they generally don't care about human beings unless their trying to kill someone or themselves. The capitalists, god forbid, don't want to lose one of their head of colateral cows (us) to suicide, but they don't mind if we get the crap beat out of us.

It's merely symptomatic of the lawlessness which utter lack of governmental regulation at all levels has created. Isn't it ironic?

Was this girl on the bike even part of the organized protest, or was she just quite obviously in the wrong place at the wrong time? They were right tho, the cops are SUPPOSED to protect the people on the streets -- sad state of affairs when people who are minding their own business, and NOT breaking any laws have to be afraid of the very policemen that are there to protect them.
Pwr 2 the 99% peons! It's time to fight for our right to LIVE FREE!

More police thuggery in plain view of the camera. They feel they have free rein to beat anyone they choose before there is any proven guilt of violation. And then they are supposed to be exonerated for this type of out of control behavior? I think not.

Spot on, KB. They need to fear the people as much as they are trying to instill fear and intimidation in us. When they hold all the weaponry, they are pretty tough. Wait until the vast majorities come to the place where they have no fear of putting their lives on the line. And that day is coming.
