its kind of a long read butyou will be furious at the end, and the article made me ask the question, If the police dont follow the law, why should anyone else?

1. The best one yet was when the police rubbed the pepper spray in the

girls eyes as they were tied to some log or something. I really went off the top when I saw those pictures. I do not understand how they got the cops to do this.I mean that is up close and personal and usually people act different then.

3. DC Police are so militant

I have a friend who was corraled there at a protest, arrested -- they are over the top with violating civil rights and seem to hate the people.

In some cities the police are still okay; but there are things happening out there with police departments that make me think they are being taken over by federal agency tactics.

5. Where the hell are our Senators and Representatives

First I think perhaps the next protest that is scheduled should be attended by both...in disguise if need be. They should let the police arrest them....and after they are released they should go to the press. One or two presidential candidates might be nice.

Next it might be wise to contact various trade groups around the country and let them know about the experience of the nurses. Nothing shuts the cops down....hell, gets them reassigned to parking meter duty...quicker than a pissed off convention industry. If DC's convention business starts drying up....the fuckers getting rich from it will start squealing like stuck pigs...I guarantee it.
