UCLA Students RIOT Over Fee Increase (VIDEO)
Written by ParcLIVE! on November 19, 2009
Wow. Go Bruins! UCLA students basically rioted on campus to protest against an absurd 32% student fee increase for next year.
From the Daily Bruin:
A crowd of more than 500 demonstrators rushed Covel Commons on Wednesday to protest a proposed 32 percent student fee increase.
They were met by dozens of university police, some of whom were outfitted in riot gear.
At one point, protesters broke through police barricades that surrounded the main entrance to Covel.
Officers responded to the stampede of students and union workers by extending the metal barricades around the entrance and using nightsticks and Taser guns to force the crowd back.
