Bart Protest August 22, 2011 – bike cam long video dump

The long version of the Bart protest on Monday, August 22, 2011 from a bike. Or what it’s like to walk up and down Market street. There are plenty of short clips and highlights and blog posts and news stories about it elsewhere. This is the uncut long version, as much a test of lengthy video dump as an observer than anything else. There’s more than an hour of video here with a few dicey moments, and it’s only the part of the protest that went down Market to the Ferry Building, not the group that was arrested at the library. . There is one incident where a BART commuter attacked the protest and was himself surrounded by the crowd, but you can see most of it was peaceful and non-eventful, not much different than the thousands of other protests along Market street, except for a smaller number of more radical types overturning garbage cans

This is the BART commuter (red shirt and glasses) that attacked the protest near 7th and market. That attack is at the end of (#opbart.SF.8.22.11c), but is not seen because people were blocking the view. Other might have that tho. There were cameras everywhere as you can see. You can see in this clip the angry commuter is surrounded by cameras. Patrt of it is also continued on #opbart.SF.8.22.11d

Also took some photos and the Flickr set is here. Famed videoographer Josh Wolf also has a Flickr set of the same protest here anda new video here
