A San Francisco police officer was in serious condition with a head injury and three suspects were in custody Saturday following a demonstration by anarchists who broke windows in the Mission District to protest the gathering of the Group of 8 leaders in Scotland.
Police did not release the name of the officer who was hurt in Friday night's melee. Deputy Police Chief Greg Suhr said Saturday that the officer was in serious but stable condition with brain swelling at San Francisco General Hospital. He has developed a blood clot, which doctors hope to dissolve before he is released, Suhr said.
The department's spokeswoman, Maria Oropeza, said the officer and his partner were driving on 23rd Street in response to a vandalism call when protesters threw a mattress underneath their patrol car.
"They got out to apprehend the suspects, at which point they were surrounded by a crowd," Oropeza said. "One of the officers was struck on the head by an unidentified object."
Police arrested Cody Tarlow, 21, of Felton (Santa Cruz County), Doritt Earnst, 31, of Berkeley and a third suspect who refused to identify himself.
They were being held on suspicion of attempted lynching, malicious mischief, battery to a police officer, aggravated assault on a police officer with a deadly weapon and willful resistance to a police officer that results in serious bodily injury.

What a surprise.............../sarcasm
I hope they all get the full force of "the book" upside thier heads
Too many angry and weird sub-humans in S.F.
That don't mean squat in Frisco. Probably they will be out on their own recognizance, have all charges dropped to failure to disperse and be given welfare.
Hmmph. Frisco asked for this crap and no they've got it.
"A posting on a Web site used by the organizers of Friday's protest said, "The legal team is working on getting (the suspects) attorneys and getting them released! There will be a meeting to organize support for them." The meeting is scheduled for this morning."
IMHO, this is proof that they have a hidden agenda and are using 'anarchy' as a cover for their true motive, whatever that may be. True anarchists reject order and organization of any kind, prefering absolute chaos. The question is: who is pulling their strings and what is their true agenda?
OTOH, they may just be too stupid to understand their own philosophy.
Wouldn't it be ironic if REAL anarchists showed up at their meeting and created chaos? (or their businesses, jobs, or homes) Although I wouldn't advocate or condone that, I wouldn't have any sympathy for them either.
How will breaking windows in San Francisco have any impact on 8 world leaders meeting in Scotland? Are the self styled anarchists trying to accomplish something? Anything?
Do a search and go to any anarchist website and you will see that the position papers are the usual college freshman Marxist bull***t. Quite funny really. There is a reason you hardly ever see middle aged anarchists. Most people wise up after their twenties.
"Most people wise up after their twenties."
LOL
Unfortunately, some never do.
In San Francisco??? More likely, they'll get a certificate of commendation from the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.
