Statement from an Anarchist arrested during San Francisco anti-war protests

To All Concerned,

On March 19th, I was attacked and arrested by the SFPD on Market and Montgomery. I would like to give you all a very brief run down of what happened and what I am facing.

I was standing on Market Street when I saw three pigs heading towards me and my friends. I was several feet away from my friends when the pigs started running towards them. When I saw them attack my friend (who was also arrested), my instincts moved me to try and assist him. Before I knew it, I was myself being attacked by the pigs. I was quickly overwhelmed and taken to the ground.

After being picked up, Officer Wolf immediately accused me of throwing a punch at another pig. He said this occured earlier, when the SFPD encircled the die-in and began randomly hitting people. I know and can prove that I was nowhere near the police line when the encirclement happened. Despite this, Officer Wolf continued to drone on about how I punched a cop and was going to state prison. When I in turn accused him of being the liar that he is, he denied it. But as I kept yelling about how he was lying, Wolf finally told his superior officer (who I could not see) that he was mistaken in his assertion and that it was someone else who had thrown the punch.
