Re: [Pen-l] real America

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?
