[quote=Anonymous]Photographers: Beware Violent Antifa Protestors

https://petapixel.com/2017/08/29/photographers-beware-violent-antifa-protestors/

Antifa attacks photographers.

At one point, while a photographer was being assaulted the Berkeley Police Department had to rush into the black bloc crowd to fish a guy out who was being beaten on. That is the guy whose face is bloodied and the photo I took where the police are escorting him.

Another photographer who was there had black paint thrown on him while he was photographing.

Frank Sommerville from KTVU also has a post up on Facebook which got a lot of attention about his experience feeling threatened while taking photos of these people.

To react violently towards photographers, destroy people’s property, and assault people physically is wrong. To me, these people seemed like a mob of bullies who delighted in violence and just wanted to crack skulls. I think these people over-reacted to the photographers at the event and think more people need to come out and condemn this sort of violent behavior.

Note to photographers, best to keep your distance from the black block, antifa, anarchists, whatever you want to call them at protests. The only violence I saw at today's Berkeley rally was aimed at photographers, several who had their cameras taken and smashed and this poor guy clutching his Nikon who got a little too close and had to be rescued by Berkeley PD. Sad.
