Police advance on protestors for the first time.

Not 60 seconds after I finished shooting the last video, the police ran towards all of us in the crowd. If you watch the first video ("Standoff Between Peaceful Protestors and LAPD"), you can see how close I was to both groups. Actually, I was right in between them. I started running when I saw the LAPD barge towards us with billy clubs in hand. One guy in a white shirt (Miguel, the guy in the end of the video) stood his ground with his hands in the air. He was beat on his legs, back, arms, and stomach 15-20 times. He did not fight back. His message at the end is pretty poignant.
