Today's legal news
In Berkeley, students who occupied a building are being charged with "burglary" because they moved some desks from an office to push them up against the building door.
In Oakland, an apparently unruly passenger pulled off a train by a BART cop is being charged with "assaulting an officer" because, as the officer was throwing him into a glass wall head first, he put up his arm which broke the glass, injuring the cop (evidently if he had allowed his head to break the glass, the "assaulting" charge wouldn't apply).
Gheesh.
