Arresting the Future by Tom Hayden, Alternet
The police force continued operating with the brains and appetite of a carnivorous shark today as city officials kept demonstrating 'the Miami model' of suppression even as protestors and trade ministers were leaving the city in droves.
At a Friday afternoon press conference, Thea Lee, the chief international economist of the AFL-CIO, spoke of feeling terrified Thursday as police fired pepper gas and plastic bullets at peaceful marchers. Other labor leaders, including AFL-CIO president John Sweeney expressed 'outrage' over the police blocking of a permitted gathering, and cited specific abuses such as a union retiree being denied necessary medication after an arbitrary arrest.------------------------------------------- posted 10:18 AM :: reference link ::
