San Jose Mardi Gras riot police video link

by cbs 5 link
On the night of Fat Tuesday, police gave out about 240 citations and made 30 arrests for vandalism to cars and businesses, and drunk in public. http://cbs5.com/topstories/local_story_061212445.html
KPIX TV station (CBS 5) has a link to a fairly unedited video of a line of riot police chasing a group of women down the street, and one woman in particular looks like she is unfairly hit with a baton, with a clear camera shot.
The women are later interviewed by the camera crew where they explain that they aren't downtown for Mardi Gras activity and just wanted to pick up a friend.
(this video should probably be less prominent on the front page here after March 3rd).
