Brace for impact! And 'Student strike'?  Really?  Did you perhaps mean 'student protest'?  A strike is when you withhold your productive labour, not when you decide to cut class.

Uh, UCPD, this is what a Cal demonstration looks like. And it can get bigger and louder, so you might want to set aside some time for a strategy meeting before going out all Yosemite Sam on our asses. Great crowd today.
