I was in Berkeley during the 1969 People’s Park riots and I think it was much worse than this . However there was also a very clear and strong response from the Governor of California at the time ; Ronald Reagan .... There were Calif. NG soldiers in the streets , with loaded rifles . APC’s at every major corner , concertina wire in the worst areas of rioting . Helos overhead dispensing teargas . Those riots stemmed forth from similar so-called non-violent protests . They evolved . These could too , but what response will their be now ?
Jerry Brown has promised to meditate on it......
