Video description from one campamentista

After about 45 minutes of marching, chanting and playing music along the Mexicali/Calexico wall we reached the border crossing. When we got to the spot on the Mexicali side we all crossed the street and began hanging banners on the wall, chanting and periodically blocking traffic by laying in the street. It was not long after this point that we noticed a swarm of Border Patrol approaching our comrades on the
Calexico side. No more than 40 protesters were playing music, chanting and dancing next to the wall when the BP decided to show up in numbers large enough to create an auto blockade of a two lane street leading up to the wall and to herd the protesters away from the wall effectively cornering themselves up against it in an effort to completely surround them. It only took the musical stylings of one drummer to set off a shockingly aggressive response (that included baton beatings, close range pepper spray gun shots and pushing someone's head into a wall) against the protesters.

Sec 57: They start everything off by tackling the drummer and keeping him on the ground.
Min 1:07: At this point they all draw their batons out and and pepper spray pellet guns and start shooting, with no particular target, into the crowd.
Min 1:25: In the haze of the pepper spray they begin to violently push down fleeing protestors. One protester gets put in a headlock and flung to the ground, beaten with a baton and finally pinned to the
ground by 4 BP.
Min 1:45: The protesters continue to flee and the BP disperses to try and track them down
Min 2:16: As one protester is calmly walking away he gets shoved headfirst into the edge of a wall.
Min 2:45: One of the officers proceeds, almost immediately after, to shoot a protester at close range with a pellet gun.
