protest movement before whipping out their
shiny metal handcuffs to begin more brutalizations.

[transcript forthcoming...]

We were in the streets quite a bit yesterday you and I and the crew from
democracy now we got caught in some of the most violent exchanges that occured yesterday
at the heart of a scene early on in the day when about 1500 or so
black bloc protesters broke off from the main DAWN march and held a spontaneous march
and attempted to gain access to the parade ground
and then the police responded with quite a significant amount of brutality hitting
people using some form of chemical agent
spraying people with high velocity sort of mini-cannons.

so we were kind of moving with that crew throughout the day.

and there also were as well people in military uniform
I rembember

naval officer

and the police were also using these metal whips that almost
looked like a

so there were a number of these exchanges

around 13th and pennsylvania.
