Seven arrests were made and two officers were injured during what UC Berkeley called 'unlawful protest activity and violence' at People's Park over a student housing project.
People's Park in Berkey has a history of resistance, which proved true, even on the first day of construction to tear down the historic park.Seven arrests were made and two officers were injured during what UC Berkeley called "unlawful protest activity and violence" at People's Park over a student housing project.
The university says it decided to pause the construction work due to the destruction of materials, unlawful protest activity, and violence on the part of some protesters. All construction personnel were withdrawn out of concern for their safety. "As a climate change activist, it is really painful to see a park, built by the community for the community, being torn down," says Aisha Wallace Palomares, a U.C. Berkeley student.A large number of officers, most in riot gear, pushed back protesters, trying to prevent them from getting into the fenced-off People's Park.
"You got back to the '60s, the people of Berkeley wouldn't stand for this. I feel that culture is still here, that's the whole point. These trees were there during that time. These trees are older than me, older than a lot of people. They are rooted in the energy that kind of comes with Berkeley," he says.
Despite the small number of protesters, the university says it has strong support from the city and students to build on People's Park.
