The members of the CU IMC were forced to separate as a result of increasing police violence and brutality against protesters. Out of concern for the safety of a minor within the group, a part of the group relocated to a safe place away from the activities. Two members remained at the scene to document the increasing police violence against protestors. The UCIMC group has reported that undercover police officers have attacked a protester who had identified them to the group. The person was unconscious and dragged away by their feet behind police lines. In additon, the group has reported the use of pepper spray, rubber bullets, concussion grenades, and tasers (stunning devices) by the police. Other IMCs that are monitoring the activities have reported that the police are preparing teargas cannisters and putting on gas masks. |
