the blurb with this video says: >A calm political protest quickly turned chaotic as anxious Denver police surrounded protestors peacefully marching toward the Democratic National Convention Center. After trapping the crowd between two buildings, hundreds of officers used pepper spray, batons and unwarranted aggression. After being surrounded for 20 minutes, two ANP producers managed to escape after recording the whole affair. < the video didn't show the use of "pepper spray, batons and unwarranted aggression." My impression (from the video) was that pepper spray was used on only a small number of people, but it's possible that it happened off-camera. The use of batons could include simply waving them, because I didn't see anyone actually being hit in the video. BTW, what group organized the march? -- Jim Devine / "Segui il tuo corso, e lascia dir le genti." (Go your own way and let people talk.) -- Karl, paraphrasing Dante. _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
