SAN FRANCISCO (BCN) -- Two police officers were attacked with sharp objects by protestors in an Occupy San Francisco march this afternoon, police said.

Protestors were marching in the area of Embarcadero and Broadway around 3:30 p.m. today when the attacks occurred, according to police.

Officers accompanying the march were attempting to prevent demonstrators from taking over the middle of the intersection, where Muni light rail lines are located.

Police say a woman emerged from the crowd and attacked one of the officers with what was described as an exacto blade attached to a pen or pencil like object. She allegedly slashed the inside of the officers hand and ran back into the crowd before the officer had time to realize he had been cut.

I can't even imagine being a police officer in SanFrancisco. I'd probably last about three months.

Well, gosh, isn't it their right to protest? /s

It's only a matter of time, as this whole spectacle fizzles via lack of interest somebody WILL go too far via frustration and somehow it will be Bush's fault.

I think escalation of force requires tungsten or depleted uranium at this point.

I am for it.

This was a planned assault with a convict’s makeshift weapon. More evidence that OWS is a criminal organization.

Be careful. The woman can be a deranged person. The woman can be a leftwing provocateur hoping to cause the cops to freak out and attack, thus have their Kent State moment. Or the woman can be a establishment provocateur hoping would discredit the OWS movement furthering its damaged image as more violent and crazy. Two major forces can be promoting violent act, the extreme leftwing elements, or the fearful establishment. Both groups are not friendly to Tea Party Conservatives and have agendas/interests to protect.

Useful idiots...

Rubber bullets would do a lot of damage to these guys in the Oct 29 San Fran #OWS march....

Oh please! These are just law abiding citizens trying to express their rights!

The above was written by an incoherent liberal that has no idea what liberty is all about... Let’s not confuse democracy with actual liberty and responsible actions within same...
