2 Arrested at Marine Recruiting Office
Knight Ridder/Tribune | February 25, 2008

BERKELEY, Calif. - Two people were arrested after they encircled police during a protest of the U.S. Marine recruiting center the night of Feb. 22, a police spokeswoman said.

A group called The World Can't Wait -- Drive Out the Bush Regime was demonstrating at the downtown center to protest military recruiting in Berkeley.

The issue has been in the limelight since the City Council last month called the recruiters "uninvited and unwelcome intruders."

Police spokeswoman Sgt. Mary Kusmiss said about 20 protesters marched from the Marine recruiting center at 64 Shattuck Square to Shattuck Avenue and Center Street late afternoon on Feb. 22 to rally for their cause.

Two Berkeley police bike officers followed the group to protect the community, she said.
