San Francisco police killed two workers in the United States

90
years ago

05 July 1934,

San Francisco police killed two workers in the United States. Since May, shippers on the western coast of the country have been on strike. There were incidents in the port area that day, as the police attacked the strikers when the chiefs tried to open the port. The clashes lasted for several hours and in the afternoon the police shot the strikers and killed two. The workers made a floral offering in the dead place and set up the guard so the police wouldn't break the tribute. The result of the long strike was the unification of all Western ports.
