Daily Californian - Explosions and screams erupted across Berkeley as more than 100 police officers deployed tear gas on protesters Saturday night and some protesters vandalized shops and blocked traffic in an approximately 10-hour-long demonstration against recent grand jury decisions on police killings of mostly unarmed black men and youth.
Approximately 40 demonstrators began the march peacefully about 5 p.m., growing into a crowd that at its peak contained about 1,000 participants. ....
The crowd originally consisted largely of community members from Berkeley and surrounding cities, but it was joined by a rush of UC Berkeley students later in the night, as the interactions between police and demonstrators escalated in violence.

Once again, look at the "cops". They itch for a fight in the communities they "serve", where the "community" is characterized by large social bifurcations: in Berkeley "radical" university students, wealthy hill communities, low income tracts, etc. I can't believe its all in the interests of keeping the peace. "Law and Order" needs to be re-defined.
