Events

On November 9, 2011, police used violence to clear Sproul Plaza, beating Robert Hass, his wife Brenda Hillman, faculty Celeste Langan and Geoffrey O’Brien at an Occupy Berkeley protest.[1] This use of force gained national recognition, which is controversial for many affiliated. [2]

Hass wrote a New York Times opinion article about the beating.[3]

Jim Chanin said:

Using a baton to go through a nonviolent crowd is as inappropriate today as it was in the South when they used it to enforce segregation in the 1960s [4]
