 | | Special because it’s location was a squatted house in the city centre, in a barrio that’s already seen years of police repression, rampant, greed-inspired gentrification, and racism against a largely immigrant population. |
 | | At some point one of the cops was seriously injured (rumour was he’d died, but now it appears he’s in a coma) and when this happened, the other cops flipped out even more, calling for reinforcements and closing down the entire area, arresting and beating the shit out of anyone who looked like a squatter. |
 | | There had been another squat party going on nearby, so a lot of people were on the streets at 6am that morning: people on their way home, or on their way to another party. |
