St. Valentine's Day Massacre

Evergreen State College - Olympia, Washington



This type of shit makes me smile.

From what I can tell, the police did nothing wrong, for once.

There was "dead prez" a concert on campus on St. Valentine's Day, and it got pretty live (just as you would expect a dead prez concert to be, anything less would be a bummer). Allegedly, around 1:30 am, a full on brawl broke out in the crowd, and a policeman broke it up. That lone officer arrested one student, and that arrest sparked a fire in the audience. The crowd then surrounded the officer, complaining about the unfair arrest and demanded that he let the perp go.

>> Then dead prez began to play one of the tracks from "Revolutionary But Gangsta" called "Fuck the Police", and crowd got hyphy on that ass. They followed the officer as he called for back-up. More policemen arrived and helped the policeman escape from the crowd. When the police tried to leave, outside the concert the crowd started to throw rocks and pepper-spray the policemen. The officers fled but one police car wouldn't start. When the car didn't start, the crowd trashed it - smashed the windows, beat craters into it, spray-painted it, and even flipped the whip.

Finally, the SWAT team dispersed the crowd of students, and no arrests were made.
I think even the kid that was arrested in the beginning got away too.

Check this live footage of how it went down..
