Berkeley and UC Sued Over Yiannopoulos Speech Riot Injuries

(Berkeley, CA)  --  Four Northern California residents are suing Cal Berkeley and the city for failing to protect them during last year's Milo Yiannopoulos speech riots.  The four plaintiffs claim they were innocent bystanders who were physically attacked and injured by masked protesters. 

 Their attorney says University Police essentially "abandoned" Sproul Plaza where the protests were taking place last February and delivered "feckless attempts" to break up the crowd.  The riots forced University officials to cancel the speech by the conservative provocateur about a half-hour before it was scheduled to begin.
