Dow+Chemical+Company+protests

There were many Dow Chemical Company protests in Madison, Wisconsin. The first of which involved SDS staging a protest against recruiters attempting to recruit engineering students. The students blockaded administrative buildings, essentially locking the heads of the college in until threats of lawsuits were made. The second and more severe set of protests involved a general student strike. There were approximately 3000 students who stricked and inundated administrative buildings. In order to remove the students and regain control of the school, police who used riot gear and tear gas were called in by administrators.

Here are a series of clips dealing with these riots...
