I went to Maryland and was a student when this happened. The video you mention was filmed from South Campus Commons Building 3, and I lived in 4. I was at a friends house when this happened, and rode my bike home shortly after this happened, not knowing all of this had happened (not a big basketball fan). As I was riding my bike down Baltimore Avenue, two cops in riot suits were standing on the sidewalk beside the street, and when I was just square with them, they suddenly jumped at me screaming stop. I almost lay down by bicycle as one of the cops tries to tackle me. He managed to kick my back tire, and I skid to a halt and dismount. They come up to me and point their 50mm canister guns in my face and start yelling in my face. I smile at them and sort of laugh, and ask if there's a problem officer. They say I was entering a restricted area, and tell me I have to turn around. I point to the my building and they don't really care. They say I have to turn around. These cops don't get to go to riots very often, so when they do get the chance, they like to have as much fun as they can with it.
