Reports indicate that between 400-1000 who participated in the Anticapitalista March are being detained by the police. The crowd has been separated into groups and individuals have been arrested one-by-one. Reports indicate that police have been using pepper-spray and tear gas since the march began.
The march began at Civic Center Park just after 7pm. When people entered the streets from the park, the police surrounded them and issued a dispersal order. The bulk of the crowd went down 15th Street. Cops followed and pinned people in.
Activists trapped in the crowd describe the one as joyful but tense. People are chanting “What do we want, justice! When do we want it now?”
