BERKELEY, Calif. Nov. 15, 2007 (KGO) - A clash between tree-sitting protesters and UC Berkeley police overnight leaves one officer injured and three people arrested. Police say just before midnight demonstrators cut through fences surrounding the oak grove that has been occupied by protesters. The demonstrators say they were just trying to deliver medical supplies to the tree sitters. But police say when they confronted the group the tree sitters threw objects at police and doused them with an unknown liquid.
One officer went to a local hospital after complaining of burning eyes. One tree sitter and two supporters were arrested. The tree sitter is charged with battery on a police officer, resisting arrest and violating a court order.

Why hasn’t the tree just been sawed down - with or without its load of petulant children?
Don’t forget to bomb it immediately after the withdrawal.
Better to move to places like Philadelphia where the cops are shot up nightly.
Are there no smudge pots in california?
The dog says “these people are too wacko for me besides tofu tastes like crap”.
Looks like the dog is the smart one in that picture...

also known as urine.
Yeah, the dog is like, “Oh man, I’m outta here. I can’t be seen with these moonbats!”
As for the tree-sitters in Berserkley, I have one word.
HUSQVARNA.
(And if that doesn’t work, a brand new Rachel Corrie Limited Edition Cat D-9 would stand in nicely.)

I suspect that the “objects” may have been brown and squishy.
Baboons do that too.
Dogs generally don’t like freaks.
Can you smell what the Rock’s cookin’
That was my question. I doubt they’d affect the results of where the tree lands any more than a few green peace protesters in a zodiac affect naval weapons testing.
