Police Having a Hay Day in Oakfield
Forbes was blocked off by hundreds of riot cops while surroundingcontingents of cops moved in on the other areas of the campus to corralpeople in. Police brutality has been witnessed -- folks being thrown tothe ground and shot with rubber bullets, media being pepper sprayed andgassed. There have been 48 confirmed arrests with more reports stillcoming in. Protesters and students alike are being held in the dormtowers unable to leave in fear of being arrested, other students cannotcross 5th Avenue to get to their residences without being thrown to theground. Legal folks out on the street want more legal observers andmedia to get out there to document police brutality, please come if youcan! Be careful and stay safe!
