Police Brutality at the Oscars
At aproximately 5:10pm as the breakaway march was moving west on Sunset Blvd. in front of McDonalds, police were forcing people to move back. One man was apparently not moving back fast enough for the police, and he was forcefully struck in the face by them. At least a pint of blood spilled out from his face onto the street, he was kicked several times while he was on the ground clutching his face and the police put his arms behind his back forcefully to put him in handcuffs while he was still bleeding. Several other demonstrators were also struck by police battons at this time. Since approximately 5:45pm the police and the protesters are in a tense standoff at the intersection of Mansfield and Sunset.
