Friends of Tristan Anderson and Palestine Rally at Isreali Consulate in San Francisco
Friends of Tristan Anderson and Palestine gathered today at the Israeli Consulate on Montgomery Street in San Francisco for a rally and press conference. The event was in reaction to both the life threatening injuries sustained by Tristan in Ni'ilin by the Israeli Military and the police brutality that occurred in front of the Israeli Consulate following a more heated protest on Monday, March 16th.
In the early part of the rally, a provocateur exited the consulate and began agitating the crowd, interrupting the current speaker. The crowd eventually turned their backs on him, however a moment later three police officers shoved into the crowd the crowd and made an arrest of someone whom the agitator allegedly pointed out to the police as having "battery acid in his pocket", although no verbal exchange had taken place between the two individuals.
The rally continued with a medium level of very tight police presence for the next hour, while a small gathering of Zionists counter protested across the street. Unfortunately, the planned broadcast of the footage of Tristan's injury and the Monday police brutality was cancelled due to technical difficulties. The speakers were difficult to hear due to police prohibiting the use of their amplifier claiming it was too many watts.
The police were preparing to cite and release the detained as the rally ended.
