BERKELEY (CBS SF) A man being sought for the assault of a conservative activist on the University of California, Berkeley campus last month has been arrested.
A statement from UC Berkeley Public Affairs said a warrant was issued for suspect Zachary Greenberg and UC police arrested him Friday, booking him into jail at 1 p.m.
Greenberg was identified as one of two men who confronted a conservative activist who had set up a table in Sproul Plaza. Hayden Williams, volunteer with conservative group Turning Points USA was displaying signs that read, Hate Crimes Hoaxes Hurt Real Victims a reference to the Jussie Smollett case and another saying This is MAGA Country.
Greenberg was seen on video landing two punches on Williams one a glancing blow and another much harder directly on his face.
The incident was recorded by two Cal students with cellphones and video of the encounter has since gone viral.
Police will formally present the case to the Alameda County District Attorneys Office for consideration of the filing of criminal charges, the university said.
He doesn’t appear to have stayed any one place very long. Hard to get along with maybe?
Political terrorism, nothing less.
I'm UCB Police Chief Margo Bennett.
I said Zachary Greenberg was not a UC Berkeley student, when in fact he was:
I'm exploiting the fact that his status was "concurrent enrollment", which means he had previously graduated from a 4-year program, did pay fees at UC Berkely and WAS taking classes at UC Berkeley, but wasn't FORMALLY a part of a graduate DEGREE program. So I fudged and simply said, "he's not a UC Berkeley student".
Sorta like, "it depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' IS..." You need to know and to remember that as Police Chief, I lie to the public regarding matters of violence.
How likely is it, you think, that over the course of my career I have not previously lied to the public..?
Hopefully some illegal alien gang member will knock his shiite lose in jail. Although in that area he will be hailed as a hero.
Heres a funny story. Attacker in another case contacted authorities to tell them he goes by they.
Ironic an image specialist was identified by ... hold it ... imaging! May he find a violent boyfriend inprison
Assault and Battery is a felony; I hope Hayden Williams’ lawyer can get the max for Zachary Greenberg. UC Berkeley seems to have open season on Constitutional Conservatives, they also have deep pockets.
At that link you'll find lots and lots of gushing about, "We are committed to the Police Code of Conduct" and flamboyant, "highly committed to honesty and public integrity" horsesh*t, meaning nothing, of course.
She's a paper-shuffling, liberal dyke who excels at mouthing platitudes and avoiding blame and responsibility.

Learn to walk away ,dude.
Love the T-Shirt. 8>)
They could have found out that he is incompetent and he quit before they run him off. Or he could have been fired.
i still say it’s greg gutfeld
Outstanding comments at the link.
I lie as a matter of principle, I am a Chief of Police. I lie on general principles. I just lie to be lying.

Small correction:
You need to know and to remember that as Police Chief, I lie to the public regarding matters of PC violence.
So was the guy Antifa? It certainly appears so as his preoccupation with wearing black clothing is indicative.
While you were commenting on the DC police, it also applies to the folks in Berkeley. Earlier reports said that with the emergence of photos this case was being "reopened". One wonders what authority closed the case a few short days after the offense was committed, and who up the line approved.
One also wonders what any higher authority can, or will do to combat such unmistakable "brown-shirt" terrorism on the campus; the behavior is the exact opposite of "freely exchanging opposing opinions". (Imagine all government and school officials are well protected from civil lawsuits here.)
gaijin, where is his connections to the FBI or CIA or DOJ, or dem party? It’s somewhere. Always is. Good work on your part.
