2. I saw lots of protesters getting thrashed...
I was watching CNN's broadcast, and their cameraman, who was doing nothing but shooting the event, got thrashed by a policeman, who used his plexishield to beat the cameraman...broke the camera and the cameraman ended up with a knot on his head.

Peaceful...I don't think so. :mad:

4. I'd say after a hard day of work like that, he and she deserve it.
It's ganja time.

8. That was something else!
If you haven't, check out Randi Rhodes' show from today (11/20). Tim Allan (producer) was in the middle of the mayhem. Heavy radio!

9. Miami Vice (agents provocateurs)
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=102&topic_id=231951

(snip)

MIAMI Ð Protestors seemed to skirmish with heavily armored Miami police outside the Riande Hotel Thursday morning, but nothing is at it seems this week. These "anarchists" were undercover police officers whose mission was to provoke a confrontation.

The crowd predictably panicked, television cameras moved in, the police lines parted, and I watched through a nearby hotel window as two undercover officers disguised as "anarchists," thinking they were invisible, hugged each other.

10. Not surprising
Attempting to marginalize the protests as "extremist". A common tactic these days, I'm afraid.

11. That picture is somehow fitting
A demand for justice, spattered with blood. It's a fitting symbol of the current condition of the United States, sadly.
