The violence was initiated from a group holding a rally at the town clock for May Day. The group formed and quickly made their way down Pacific Ave where they started damaging businesses.
Because of the size and violent demeanor of the crowd, Santa Cruz Police officers called for Mutual-Aid backup from all law enforcement agencies in the County. Neighboring officers arrived quickly and began to coordinate with Santa Cruz Officers. This quick response and action was essential in preventing damage to other businesses.
