SFPD are characterizing what they encountered at the annual skateboarding event as a 'rowdy mob.' City officials are defending the police response and mass arrests. Parents say some teens were unlawfully detained. SanFrancisco
Skateboarders say this year it was the officers who antagonized the skaters, provoking them into escalating behavior. "The police action is more what caused the vandalism then the vandalism in the first place," said skateboarder Finn Deuss. "I doubt if half this sh*t would have happened if the police weren't like harassing kids."
Skaters say they were targeted. "It was just weird to see the f*cking police like chasing around a bunch of f*cking kids shouting like, 'this is an unlawful protest,'" said Deuss. Police say the juveniles have all been released, and most, if not all, the adults as well. A few are facing more serious charges such as assaulting a police officer.
