Greek Solidarity March in University City Fizzles

And that’s that for the U City “anarchists.”

A violent protest in University City ends with several arrests. An estimated 30 to 50 people were on Delmar carrying signs and protesting an event in Greecea few weeks ago where a Greek policeman allegedly shot and killed a teenage boy.

Thegroup said it is against police brutality and yelled profanities at UCity officers. At one point they blocked traffic on Delmar and refusedto move. That’s when police moved in and made six arrests.

MajorErnest Green with University City Police said, “We have one officerthat was struck on his shoulder with we believe a metal pole. Thisgroup had sticks for their signs, they had metal poles, and they alsohad a few air compressors. They had light bulbs filled with paint.”

The six people arrested face a number of charges including resisting arrest and destruction of city property.
