You've got to remember the time that these protests were going, (in the late 60s), the people, (protesters), were not all peace loving flower children making love in the park. There were many organized radical groups, bent on the violent overthrow of the government. Many of the groups that were formed as a result of the unrest in the 60s, were very organized and quite violent. Black Panther Party, the Students for a Democratic Society, the Weather Underground Organization, and the Youth International Party, just to name a few. Some existed before the Berkley protests some were formed after, but nearly all had there roots in those protests.
So when police show up to keep peace and protect the community and are vastly outnumbered, once the rock and bottles start flying, they may need some backup.
Don't get me wrong, there was a lot of good social changes that came from these protests, but I'm also glad that most of these groups were eliminated. I'd hate to think of a world run by the Weather Underground Organization or the Symbionese Liberation Army.
I'll talk to the wifey!!!
