“We’re not guilty. We came out to the press right away saying, we’re not f—ing apologizing for anything, not to the cops who groped a student and not to the university that wants to punish protesters for saying no to attacks on their schools!” – Chrisley Carpio, one of the Tampa 5.
Hillsborough County prosecutors have filed felony and misdemeanor charges against a group of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) protesters who were brutalized and in one case sexually assaulted by University of South Florida (USF) campus police for holding a peaceful demonstration on their campus in March of this year.
