Two City College students who say they were hurt by police during a March 13 protest on campus have filed a complaint against the university and then made this video explaining exactly what went down that day.
The chaotic scene broke out when a throng of students gathered at campus to protest the possible closure of the community college. Police descended upon the protesters, arresting a handful of them and pepper spraying others. The students, who were demanding the resignation of Robert Agrella, the special trustee installed last July to run the school in the wake of its closure, barricaded themselves, staying the night inside Conlan Hall.
Now, two of the students who claimed the cops roughed them up during the protest are suing both the County of San Francisco and the community college district, the Ex reports.
Watch Otto Pippenger and Dimitrios Philliou detail the incident via YouTube:
Even the chancellor was somewhat horrified by the scene, which was captured on video. Chancellor Art Tyler ordered an independent review of the pandemonium that erupted on campus.
We're sure this isn't the last you'll hear about City College controversy. Stay tuned.
