Here are some images from a DnB party in Utah last night...
The following is an open letter to the unbiased worldwide media, written by a friend in the UK.
To whom it may concern:
I have a potential story i would like to bring to your attention. Today some friends in Utah informed me of a gratuitous example of police brutality that occurred on the evening of Saturday the 20th. There had been an outdoor dance music event scheduled for that evening. This was planned, permission had been obtained from the landowner, and according to the promoter, all required forms and permits had been filed and paid for. All had been going well until about 11:30 when, according to many eyewitness accounts, a helicopter began circling and the area was surrounded by around 90 police officers in full camouflage battle uniforms armed with assault rifles. According to many eyewitness accounts and a video, officers were swarming patrons in groups of 4 or 5 and beating people on the ground.

Here are some excerpts of accounts-
"No one resisted. That's for sure. They had police dogs raiding the crowd of people and I saw a dog signal out a guy who obviously had some drugs on him. The soldiers attacked the guy (4 of them on 1), and kicked him a few times in the ribs and had their knees in his back and sides. As they were cuffing him, there was about 1000 kids trying to leave in the backdrop, peacefully. Next thing I know, A can of fucking TEAR GAS is launched into the crowd. People are running and screaming at this point. Girls are crying, guys are cussing... bad scene. "
"I saw about 7 people attacked (before being forced to leave). I saw two of them right in front of me. One was a guy who was walking around with a camcorder stunned at what was happening. A soldier told him to give him the camera now. The raver said no it is my camera. The soldier then proceeded to grab the camera, throw it to the ground and then began beating the kid. In the end they threw him to the ground violently an put their knee into his back while handcuffing him. All for wanting to keep his property. When I last saw him he was knocked out and unmoving.
Another girl next to me said to one of the soldiers that she didn't know how to get home as they had just arrested her friend. The soldier told her to walk home. My friend tried to grab her to bring her with us, but the soldier began yelling that she had touched him (which she hadn't). Within seconds, five soldiers had jumped on her and were literally beating the crap out of this innocent women. She was punched in the face, thrown to the ground, and kicked while down. All for worrying how to get home safely. She is now suing."
I would suggest that you follow this story, as the ACLU has apparently gotten involved and there are several lawsuits being filed.
I hope that this gross violation of constitutional rights does not go unnoticed in our media.
sorry i was so not with it, totally knackered
