Video of Unprovoked SFPD Attack on Demonstration

Copy the code below to embed this movie into a web page:
Raw video, March 16: San Francisco police brutally attack a small group of peaceful demonstrators in front of the Israeli Consulate, without provocation and without any warning. A swarm of officers rushed the group of 20 or 30 and beat them with batons, threw a number of people to the ground and continued to beat them while restrained, then arrested the demonstrators and threw them into waiting SFPD vans.

Video of the attack is shaky/blurry in places, the scene was highly chaotic and there was too much going on to film at once. I did not anticipate the attack at all and it was only by chance that I was filming as it began.

I have some pictures uploading but it is taking a while. can't reduce the size.

KTVU was standing right there with a video camera and has a few seconds of good footage

Dear Comrades,
When the French were going to test a Nuclear Bomb a few years back Hal Carlstad and myself started a Phone Tree of Resistance here and around the world.. We must do that NOW!!!!
Call the Isreali Consulate over,over and over and fax them over,over and over and express your Dissent ..
Jam their engines , No Business as usual!!!!
In Solidarity,Struggle and Peace, Soul

i don't know if this is a good idea to be posting, for instance it appears to show one individual resisting arrest. think, you don't want to give cops evidence they don't already have. police often lie on arrest reports - especially in situations where a number of people are arrested at once - and charges can be thrown out for this reason. but you have no reason to be providing them with this.
