Don’t budge an inch on your civil rights – The Daily Aztec

“Last Thursday’s disruption of free speech – in the area designated by San Diego State for just such a purpose – was a clear violation of students’ civil rights and an illustration of the inherent dangers of state-level bureaucracy.

Several University Police officers interrupted a peaceful demonstration by Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano/a de Aztlan de SDSU for more than 10 minutes for the purposes of checking MEChA’s permit to assemble. One officer confronted the opening speaker and obstructed the microphone, while other officers unplugged the sound system. After the permit was produced by MEChA and verified by police, the officers remained on scene and proceeded to stand guard over the assembly.”
