"The Birth of A New Movement"

Last week UC Berkeley protested against the 32% fee increases in the UC system by the Board of Regents.

Students found themselves protesting in Wheeler Hall where 40 students were arrested. In the process students were beaten, breaking the peaceful atmosphere of the students and turning the protest into a violent situation.

Now, UC Berkeley is investigating whether police brutality played a factor in the arrests made and the eventual end of the protest.

Democracy Now breaks the Berkeley story, discussing what happened and showing footage of police brutality. Decide for yourself...

Fast-forward to 32:57 for the full story on the investigation of police brutality by Berkeley Police during the protest! At 38:00 video of the police violently beating a student is shown...

In solidarity,
