A second livestream farther up, where the police attacked. Does not contain the attack but does show the police appearing from behind in large numbers with obvious malfeasance on their minds. I'm not sure I can hear any orders being given by police on this stream, at this position in the march.

Today, San Francisco. SFPD: You're doing it wrong. Way, way wrong. Pitiful.

The right to assemble peacefully and petition the government for redress of grievances. Read about it.

I'll be heading over to jail support shortly. An estimated 10-12 protesters were arrested, a lot of them are my friends. #FTP #O25 #OO #OSF \

And look at this. ABC claim all sorts of destruction and evil intent on the part of the marchers, but show none of it when they had all this opportunity to take pictures and show the world. Are they lying? If you watch the livestream, police just rushed the crowd and grabbed everyone at once. As they were marching!

Dozens arrested during SF protest

" SAN FRANCISCO -- Around 22 people were arrested at a protest Saturday afternoon at Justin Herman Plaza after projectiles including rocks, paint and flares were thrown at police, according to San Francisco police.

The protest, which began shortly before 3 p.m., started an unpermitted march west on Market Street, according to Officer Gordon Shyy.

Group members, many of them reportedly wearing black clothing and black masks covering their faces, began to block traffic, Shyy said. Some also allegedly vandalized vehicles and businesses as they walked. "
